Check the latest public collections from a direct message
A simple DM request can bring the newest public X-Force collections into your workflow.
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 Latest Public Collections
Tool to retrieve latest public Collections from IBM X-Force Exchange. Use when you need to access publicly available collections without pagination. For fetching all public collections, consider using the paginated endpoint instead.
Why this helps
Opening a separate research tool for a quick collection check can break focus on the task at hand.
- Makes latest public collection retrieval conversational.
- Keeps a quick lookup connected to the request that prompted it.
- Avoids a separate navigation step.

- 1Connect Slack and IBM X-Force Exchange once through Notis.
- 2Create the automation conversationally or in the portal.
- 3Ask Notis in one plain-language prompt to retrieve latest public collections for a DM request.
- 4Choose Slack direct message received and the run-report channel.
- 5Test by sending a real DM asking for the latest public collections.
