Ask Slack for a Keen io collection directory
When you need a quick inventory, message Notis in Slack. It can retrieve Keen io collection names and schemas so you can return to the work at hand.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Inspect All Event Collections
Tool to retrieve schema info for all event collections. Use when you need to list collection names and optional property schema for a given project. Use include_schema to toggle schema details.
Why this helps
Remembering where analytics data lives can interrupt a founder's focus and create avoidable back-and-forth.
- Request an inventory in the flow of a direct conversation.
- Get collection schemas without manually exploring Keen io.
- Keep analytics discovery lightweight and repeatable.
Setup

- 1Connect Slack and Keen io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to retrieve and summarize Keen io event collection names and schemas when requested by DM.
- 4Choose the Slack direct-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by sending a real DM request to Notis.
