Get period metrics in your Slack conversation
A plain-language Slack request can start a focused GoSquared metrics lookup for the period your team is discussing.
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
Retrieve Aggregate Metrics
Tool to retrieve aggregate metrics for a specified period. Use after specifying both start and end date-times to obtain summarised metrics, optionally grouped by interval.
Why this helps
Pulling together a simple performance summary can turn into a chain of tabs and forgotten follow-ups.
- Request a bounded metrics summary in natural language.
- Keep a performance question attached to its answer.
- Lower the friction of recurring or ad hoc metric checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and GoSquared to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to retrieve aggregate GoSquared metrics for the period named in a Slack message.
- 3Select the Slack channel message trigger and a run-report channel.
- 4Test with a real request that names the site and start and end times.
Questions about this workflow
What should be included in a request?
Name the site and a clear start and end time so Notis can retrieve the relevant aggregate metrics.
Can this handle a recurring report?
This workflow starts from a Slack channel message. Use a schedule trigger if you want a recurring report.
