Answer event detail requests from Slack DMs
A DM that names a Humanitix event can prompt Notis to fetch its details and help close the question without a separate lookup.
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 Event
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific event. use when you have the eventid and need full metadata.
Why this helps
A one-to-one request for event information can get lost while someone switches tools to look it up.
- Respond to event questions while the request is still in view.
- Fetch detailed metadata for a specific event.
- Reduce memory load from keeping lookup requests in mind.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Humanitix to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve details when a DM clearly identifies a Humanitix event.
- 4Select the Slack direct message trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 5Test with a DM about a real event whose event ID is available.
Questions about this workflow
What does Notis need to retrieve event details?
The Humanitix Get Event action requires an event ID, so the request or available context needs to identify the event.
Will this reply in the DM?
The configured action retrieves event information. Choose a report channel for run updates; do not assume it sends a DM reply.
