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.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 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.
