Answer API route questions from Slack
Bring route discovery into the conversation where an integration question comes up, then share the returned route list with the team.
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
List Routes
Tool to list top-level API routes. Use when you need to discover all available API endpoints for an instance. Call after setting a valid authorization token.
Why this helps
Finding available endpoints can interrupt a task and send a founder through separate API references and tools.
- Respond to route discovery requests from the working conversation.
- Reduce the steps needed to find top-level API paths.
- Help integrations move forward with concrete endpoint context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and InfluxDB Cloud to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or tell Notis to retrieve InfluxDB API routes when requested in Slack.
- 3Use one plain-language prompt that describes a clear route-discovery request and asks Notis to list the available top-level routes.
- 4Select Channel Message Received and choose where run reports should appear.
- 5Test with one real route-discovery request and review the returned list.
