See which custom fields Helpdesk uses

Find out what information Helpdesk is set up to track, right from a Slack-triggered run.

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 Custom Fields

Tool to list all custom fields defined in the account. Use when you need to view or manage custom fields. Only callable after authentication.

Why this helps

Looking up account configuration can break a support conversation and make process decisions slower.

  • Makes support configuration easier to reference
  • Helps teams understand what data the system tracks
  • Keeps the answer near the question that prompted it

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Helpdesk to Notis once; the custom-fields action requires Helpdesk authentication.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in a connected channel.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to retrieve Helpdesk custom fields when a Slack channel asks about tracked information, then summarize the results.
  • 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real question about which details the team tracks in Helpdesk.

Questions about this workflow

Does this change the Helpdesk configuration?

No. It lists custom fields so Notis can report what is configured; it does not edit fields.

Does Helpdesk need to be authenticated?

Yes. The custom fields action is only callable after Helpdesk authentication, so connect and authenticate the integration first.
