Get the Keen io property reference from Slack

When a teammate needs to follow a property back to its resource, have Notis check Keen io and put the reference in reach.

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

Inspect Collection Property

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.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Keen io to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 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

Does the action provide a clickable resource?

The property inspection returns its resource URL along with inferred type details.

What if names are ambiguous?

Ask Notis to flag the ambiguity so someone can clarify the collection or property.
