Questions about this workflow
Why use upsert instead of create lead?
Upsert uses the email to create or update a lead in one action, which helps avoid creating a second record for the same address.
Will every Slack message overwrite the lead?
The instruction should specify which messages contain a genuine prospect update before Notis changes a Hunter record.
