Get a focused Keen io property definition by DM
A direct question can be enough to retrieve the details behind one event property, helping you get back to the task you were doing.
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 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
Tracking down a property definition can turn a small question into a distracting tool switch and research detour.
- Make a one-property lookup easy to request.
- Return inferred type and resource URL for a useful follow-up.
- Keep a small analytics question from growing into a research task.
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 to make it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to inspect the Keen io collection property named in a Slack DM and report its inferred type and resource URL.
- 4Choose the Slack direct-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real DM that names a collection and property.
Questions about this workflow
What if I only know the property name?
Include the collection name as well when possible; it helps Notis inspect the intended property.
Does the workflow edit the property?
No. It retrieves property details for reference.
