Tool to return details for a specific property in an event collection. Use when you need to inspect a property's inferred type and resource URL.
Why this helps
A missing property reference can turn a quick discussion into a prolonged search through analytics tools and notes.
- Return the relevant property reference alongside its inferred type.
- Give the team a direct starting point for further investigation.
- Reduce the back-and-forth caused by missing analytics context.

- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to inspect the Keen io property named in a Slack channel message and share its inferred type and resource URL.
- 4Choose the Slack channel-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real message that names the collection and property.
Questions about this workflow
