Check a publication domain while planning
Resolve the first question about a publication domain from the conversation where the idea came up, then keep setup planning moving.
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
Hashnode: Check Custom Domain Availability
Tool to check if a custom domain is available for your Hashnode publication. Use when verifying domain mapping before setup.
Why this helps
A domain idea sits in discussion because confirming availability requires a separate tool-switching task.
- Check a proposed domain before committing more setup time.
- Keep the result connected to the planning discussion.
- Reduce uncertainty around the next publication setup step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Hashnode once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to recognize a candidate domain in Slack and check its availability in Hashnode.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with a domain your team is considering.
Questions about this workflow
Does availability checking configure the domain?
No. The action checks whether a custom domain is available; it does not set up domain mapping.
What should the Slack message contain?
Include the candidate domain clearly so Notis can check the intended value.
