Answer event questions with Heartbeat details
Event questions often arrive while you are focused on something else. Have Notis check Heartbeat and return useful event context when a DM asks.
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
Get Events
Tool to retrieve event information from the community. Use when you need to list events with optional pagination support.
Why this helps
Switching from a private message to a separate event search adds friction to simple questions.
- Reduces the manual steps between an event question and a useful answer.
- Keeps the lookup tied to the Slack DM that prompted it.
- Helps founders return to their main work sooner.
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 desired result in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find and summarize relevant Heartbeat event information when a Slack DM asks about an event.
- 4Select the Slack Direct Message Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real DM that clearly names or describes a Heartbeat event.
Questions about this workflow
Can this answer every event question?
It can retrieve Heartbeat event information and summarize a likely match. If the message lacks identifying details, Notis may need to report that more context is needed.
Will it change event information?
No. The action retrieves event information but does not modify events.
