Retrieve the Grafbase federated schema from Slack

Start a graph review with the composed schema available in the same conversation as the request.

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

Get Federated Schema

Tool to retrieve the composed federated graph schema. Use after deploying your federated graph when you need the full SDL.

Why this helps

Reviewers can lose time tracking down the current composed graph before they can discuss it.

  • Retrieve the composed graph schema for a focused review.
  • Help reviewers start with shared schema context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Grafbase to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with the prompt: When someone asks for the Grafbase federated schema in Slack, retrieve the composed schema and report the result for review.
  • 3Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose the run-report channel.
  • 4Test with a real request after the federated graph is deployed.

Questions about this workflow

Does this deploy a federated graph?

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Grafbase. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Delete Grafbase Audit Log

Tool to delete a specific Grafbase audit log entry. Note: As of current Grafbase public documentation, there is no documented API to delete audit logs programmatically. This action will attempt a best-effort REST DELETE to `/audit-logs/{id}` and, if unsupported or not found, it will gracefully fall back to validating connectivity with the GraphQL Management API and return a structured response instead of failing.
