Notis

Get probe details from a Slack request

When the team needs to know what probes are online, a shared reaction can prompt Notis to retrieve the current Globalping inventory.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

List Probes

Tool to list all currently connected probes. Use after authenticating with the API to retrieve online probe metadata.

Why this helps

Probe availability questions can cause a distracting detour through tools before the team can plan a measurement.

  • Respond to a clearly marked coverage question with current probe metadata.
  • Keep the request and its response tied to Slack.
  • Avoid manually looking up the probe list each time.

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 list Globalping probes when the chosen reaction is added to a message asking about probe availability.
  • 3Select Message Reaction Added, set the available channel or emoji filter if helpful, and choose a run-report channel.
  • 4Test by reacting to one real probe-availability question.

Questions about this workflow

What information does List Probes provide?

It retrieves metadata for currently connected probes.

Does the reaction itself specify locations?

No. Use the returned probe metadata to review availability; the action is a list operation.
