When a teammate posts the prepared test email and recipients in Slack, let Notis start the deliverability check in Instantly.
Trigger

Action
Create Inbox Placement Test
Tool to create an inbox placement test. Use when you need to measure deliverability across providers with your prepared email and recipient list.
Why this helps
Pre-send checks are easy to postpone when the request and test setup are split across conversation and tools.
- Start a deliverability check from its request context.
- Reduce forgotten pre-launch checks.
- Keep the team aware of the next campaign readiness step.

- 1Connect Slack and Instantly to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create an Instantly inbox placement test when a Slack channel message clearly requests a test and supplies the prepared email and recipient list.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test using a real prepared test request.
