Turn a Slack DM introduction into contact research

A useful introduction in a DM does not have to become another item to remember. Ask Notis to find the likely work email with Hunter.

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

Email Finder

Tool to find the most likely email address for a person at a domain or company. use when you have a person's name and a domain or company and need to infer their email.

Why this helps

One-to-one messages are easy to lose among other conversations, especially when contact research requires several extra steps.

  • Acts on prospect details shared in direct messages.
  • Returns a likely contact email without a separate lookup session.
  • Helps keep a warm introduction from getting buried.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Hunter to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or describe it to Notis conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to find a likely work email in Hunter when a Slack DM shares a person's name and company for follow-up.
  • 4Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and pick a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real introduction shared in a DM.

Questions about this workflow

Will it read channel messages too?

This workflow uses the Direct Message Received trigger. Use a separate channel-message automation if you want to process channel posts.

What if the DM does not identify a company?

Notis should report that the details are insufficient instead of guessing which company to search.
