Find cached Keen io datasets with a Slack DM
Ask in a direct message when you need to know which cached dataset definitions are available. Notis can bring back the list for you.
Trigger

Action
List Cached Dataset Definitions

Why this helps
Founders lose focus when searching across tools for a dataset they may already have defined.
- Use a simple DM as the starting point for dataset discovery.
- Avoid repeating manual searches for cached definitions.
- Keep a concise dataset reference close to the request.
