Get publication context in Slack
When a team conversation needs the publication's current details, fetch them from Hashnode without breaking the flow of discussion.
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 Publication by Hostname
Tool to fetch details (id, title, about) of a publication by hostname. Use when you need metadata for a given publication host. Example: 'blog.developerdao.com'.
Why this helps
A small publication detail turns into a time-consuming search that pulls you away from the task at hand.
- Resolve a publication lookup from the current discussion.
- Use the hostname already in your team's context.
- Keep setup and ownership conversations moving.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Hashnode once via the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by asking Notis.
- 3Write one instruction explaining which requests should fetch publication details and how to identify the hostname.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a hostname for a publication your team uses.
