Ask Notis in a channel for a list of your Gists when a reference is hard to locate.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

List Gists

Tool to list the authenticated user's gists or all public gists if called anonymously. Use after setting a valid GitHub token in headers.

Why this helps

Creating another note is tempting when no one can quickly see what references already exist.

  • List Gists in the authenticated account in response to a channel request.
  • Help the team check existing references before looking elsewhere.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Gist to Notis once in the portal, using the account whose Gists should be listed.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Give Notis one instruction to list the authenticated user's Gists when a Slack channel message asks for an inventory or existing reference.
  • 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a channel request for the Gist inventory.
