Check service health while troubleshooting in Slack
When a teammate flags a possible service issue, run a health check and give the team a useful first signal.
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
Check API Health
Tool to perform API health check. Use to verify API availability before other operations.
Why this helps
Uncertainty about service availability can trigger duplicate checks and pull several people into the same investigation.
- Provides an initial availability signal during troubleshooting.
- Helps reduce duplicate manual checks.
- Keeps the response tied to the team conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Identitycheck to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to check API health when a Slack channel message reports an Identitycheck availability concern.
- 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger and where run reports should appear.
- 4Test with a real health concern and review the returned check.
Questions about this workflow
Does a health check diagnose the cause of an outage?
No. It checks API availability and can provide an initial signal for troubleshooting.
Should every channel message run a check?
Describe the availability concern clearly in the prompt so Notis can act on relevant reports.
