Find a prospect's email from a Slack message
Spot a named prospect in Slack and let Notis look up their work email with Icypeas, keeping the next step close to where the lead came up.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Find Single Email
Tool to discover a single email address using a person's first or last name with a company domain or name. Use when needing to retrieve a prospect's specific email before outreach.
Why this helps
A promising name in a busy channel can disappear before anyone has time to research the right contact details.
- Capture prospect research while the context is fresh.
- Reduce manual switching between Slack and email research.
- Get the lookup result reported in your chosen channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Icypeas to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations, or ask Notis conversationally to create one.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to find a named person's work email from relevant Slack messages using their company or domain, then report the result.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one real prospect mention that includes a name and company.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the Slack message include?
Include a person's name and their company or company domain so Icypeas has useful search context.
Does this send an email to the prospect?
No. This workflow looks up an email address and reports the result; it does not send outreach.
