Answer destination questions from Slack DMs
A quick DM question can trigger a quick destination check, helping you answer without opening another research session.
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
List Cities
Tool to list all active cities with pagination support. Use when you need to retrieve available cities from the Headout platform. Supports pagination through offset and limit parameters.
Why this helps
Small travel questions arriving through DMs can create context switches and remain unanswered during focused work.
- Check whether Headout lists the requested destination.
- Provide a quick answer within a DM-driven workflow.
- Reduce the number of small research tasks left open.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Headout once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and ask Notis to detect destination questions in DMs, check the Headout active city list, and summarize matching results.
- 3Select Slack Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with a real destination question.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis read every DM?
The trigger catches incoming DMs; make the prompt specific so Notis only runs the Headout lookup for destination questions.
Can it search a city absent from Headout?
It can report that no matching active city was returned.
