Check Gitea API limits in Slack
Use an explicit integration-review question to fetch the Gitea API settings that constrain pagination and response size.
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
Get General API Settings
Tool to retrieve the Gitea instance's global API settings including pagination limits and response size constraints. Use when you need to understand API rate limits or configuration parameters.
Why this helps
Batch-job estimates go wrong when instance API limits are assumed.
- Ground implementation estimates in live settings
- Capture constraints where the team is discussing the job
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gitea to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation, or open Automations → New Automation in the portal.
- 3Use this plain-language prompt: “For explicit API-capacity questions in the integration channel, retrieve Gitea general API settings and summarize the pagination and response limits returned.”
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports; create it and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this test API throughput?
No. It reads configuration; it is not a load test or rate-limit measurement.
