Get the subgraph SDL into view while the relevant implementation conversation is happening.
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 Subgraph Schema
Tool to retrieve the GraphQL SDL of a specific subgraph. Use after confirming the subgraph name to inspect its schema.
Why this helps
Inspecting a subgraph schema can interrupt flow when you have to leave the discussion to find it.
- Retrieve the SDL for a named subgraph on request.
- Keep schema inspection close to implementation discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Grafbase to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with this prompt: When someone requests a Grafbase subgraph schema in Slack and names the subgraph, retrieve its SDL and share the result.
- 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger and where run reports should go.
- 4Test with a real named subgraph request.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow change the schema?
No. It retrieves the subgraph SDL for inspection.
What should the request name?
Include the exact subgraph name so Notis can retrieve the intended schema.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Grafbase. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Grafbase actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Delete Grafbase API Key
Tool to delete an existing API key. Use after confirming the key ID to revoke access.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Delete Extension
Tool to delete an extension configuration. Use after confirming the extension_id to remove the extension.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Delete MCP Server
Tool to delete a Grafbase MCP server configuration by its unique ID. Use after confirming the server ID to remove an existing MCP server.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
