See Heartbeat group options during access discussions
Access requests can involve an unfamiliar group structure. Have Notis list Heartbeat groups as the request comes up in Slack, so the next decision starts with useful context.
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
List Groups
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of access groups in the community. Use when you need to browse groups with optional filters for parent groups or user membership. Supports cursor-based pagination.
Why this helps
Unclear group names and structures make simple access questions harder to resolve than they need to be.
- Makes group structure easier to review during an access conversation.
- Provides context for deciding which group needs attention.
- Avoids opening Heartbeat just to browse the available groups.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Heartbeat to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis the intended outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list relevant Heartbeat groups when a Slack message raises a community access request.
- 4Select the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real access question and check whether the returned group context helps.
Questions about this workflow
Does listing groups grant access?
No. This action only retrieves group information; it does not change membership or permissions.
Can the workflow focus on a specific person?
Include the person's context in the instruction. The action can list groups, which the team can review against the request.
