Identify the language of Slack messages

Get a quick language signal for a message before deciding whether someone needs to translate or respond.

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

Identify Language

Tool to detect the language of a text string. Use when you need to identify the language of arbitrary text. Call after obtaining the text input.

Why this helps

A message in an unfamiliar language can sit unread while teammates work out how to handle it.

  • Detects the language of arbitrary message text.
  • Helps teammates decide when translation or language-specific follow-up is useful.
  • Keeps the language signal attached to the conversation context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Interzoid to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what outcome you want.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to identify the language of relevant channel messages and report the detected language with a concise context note.
  • 4Choose the Slack channel-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real message in a language your team wants to recognize.

Questions about this workflow

Does language detection translate the message?

No. It identifies the language. Use a translation action when you need translated text.

Should every message be processed?

Limit the instruction to the channel or messages where a language signal reduces friction.
