Check API health from an operational DM
When a direct message says measurement runs are failing, check Globalping's API health as a quick first troubleshooting step.
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
GlobalPing Health Check
Tool to check API health status. Use when verifying API availability.
Why this helps
A founder can start troubleshooting their own setup before checking whether the connected API is healthy.
- Check service health from the report that raised the issue.
- Give the founder useful status context without changing tools.
- Make a small troubleshooting step easier to remember.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Globalping to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one prompt to check Globalping API health when a DM reports that measurements cannot be accessed.
- 3Select Direct Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real DM reporting measurement access trouble.
