Bring observed Keen io property values into Slack
When a discussion hinges on the values an event property actually contains, ask in the channel and have Notis retrieve the distinct list.
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
Select Unique
Tool to return unique values for a target property. Use when distinct property values are required for matching events with optional filters and timeframe constraints.
Why this helps
Teams can lose time debating labels or segments without first checking which values appear in their analytics data.
- Ground the discussion in observed property values.
- Reduce time spent manually checking analytics data.
- Make the next decision easier to frame.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Keen io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation from the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction to retrieve unique Keen io values for the collection property named in a Slack channel message and report them in context.
- 4Pick the Slack channel-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test using one real request that clearly names the collection and property.
Questions about this workflow
Can the lookup be limited to a timeframe?
