Find contributor context without a detour
A request for author context can be answered from the conversation where it arrives, without a separate profile search.
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
Hashnode: Fetch User Details
Tool to fetch detailed user profile information by username. Use when you need public or authorized profile data.
Why this helps
Small contributor research requests create another tab, another lookup, and an easy interruption to the task in progress.
- Start the lookup from a direct request.
- Reduce manual profile searches.
- Bring relevant profile context to the next decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Hashnode in Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation there or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction that defines qualifying requests and how to identify the Hashnode username.
- 4Choose Slack Direct Message Received as the trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one known public Hashnode username.
Questions about this workflow
What does the lookup need?
It needs the Hashnode username, which the prompt can ask Notis to identify from the Slack message.
Does it update the profile?
No. The action fetches user details and does not edit the profile.
