Notis

Look up one Hookdeck attempt from a Slack DM

When an investigation needs one precise record, Notis can fetch a specific attempt from the details you send in Slack.

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 Hookdeck Attempt

Tool to retrieve details of a specific Hookdeck attempt by its ID. Use after confirming the attempt ID.

Why this helps

A single attempt can be difficult to isolate in a long delivery history.

  • Focus on one known delivery attempt.
  • Keep the lookup request concise and private.
  • Avoid browsing through unrelated delivery records.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Hookdeck to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation through the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction to retrieve a Hookdeck attempt only when the Slack DM contains its attempt identifier and asks for a lookup.
  • 4Pick the Slack direct message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a known attempt identifier in a DM and verify the retrieved record.

Questions about this workflow

Does the attempt identifier need to be in the DM?

Yes. Include the identifier so Notis can retrieve the intended attempt.

Will this trigger in a Slack channel?

No. It starts from a direct message.
