Check mailing addresses received by DM
A mailing address can arrive in a DM between other requests. Have it checked without adding a reminder to your mental queue.
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
Validate Address
Tool to validate and standardize addresses. Use when you need detailed parsing, geocode, and deliverability verdict of an address.
Why this helps
Direct messages are easy to leave unread or revisit later, so address checks can fall through the cracks.
- Handle address validation close to where the request arrived.
- Get a clear standardized result for a reply.
- Reduce a small but easy-to-forget follow-up task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google address validation to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to validate mailing addresses sent in DMs and report the result for follow-up.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received as the trigger, select a run-report channel, and test with one real mailing address.
