Update Givebutter contacts from Slack corrections

Make supporter record corrections once, where your team already flags them.

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

Update Contact

Tool to update an existing contact's details by contact id. use when modifying contact information after confirming the contact id. only provided fields will be updated.

Why this helps

Contact corrections in team conversations can be easy to miss, leading to repeated manual updates and follow-up confusion.

  • Reduce manual transfer of authorized contact corrections.
  • Keep a correction connected to its source conversation.
  • Avoid unnecessary rework when supporter details change.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Givebutter to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to apply authorized supporter contact corrections.
  • 3Write one instruction telling Notis to identify the intended contact and update only the fields and values explicitly provided.
  • 4Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one authorized correction and confirm the right contact was updated.

Questions about this workflow

Should every mention of a changed email trigger an update?

Use the prompt to require an authorized, explicit correction and enough information to identify the intended contact.

Can this create a contact if none exists?

This workflow uses Update Contact, which changes an existing contact by ID. It should only proceed when the correct contact can be identified.
