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.
