Search Gift Up items from a Slack DM

For a quick private catalog question, message Notis in Slack and let it retrieve the relevant Gift Up items.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

List Items

Tool to list items. Use when you need to retrieve all items available for sale, optional filter by groupId.

Why this helps

A private question can sit unanswered while someone navigates the catalog and then remembers to reply.

  • Handle one person's catalog question without a public thread.
  • Reduce the steps between asking and getting item information.
  • Keep the lookup prompt and run result connected.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Gift Up to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3Use one instruction to retrieve relevant Gift Up sale items when a Slack DM asks about an item, then summarize the matches.
  • 4Select Direct Message Received and pick a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by sending a real DM with a Gift Up item question.

Questions about this workflow

Will this handle channel messages?

No. It uses the DM trigger. Choose Channel Message Received for requests posted in channels.

Can the lookup focus on a group?

The List Items action accepts an optional group filter. Mention the group in the plain-language instruction when it is relevant.
