Notis

Run a lightweight Keen io value check from Slack

Flag the question where it came up, then let Notis retrieve the property values that help you decide what to do next.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Select Unique

Tool to return unique values for a target property. Use when distinct property values are required for matching events with optional filters and timeframe constraints.

Why this helps

Simple validation questions can sit in a queue when nobody has a clear, low-effort way to check the actual data.

  • Give a small validation request a simple trigger.
  • See distinct values before spending time on follow-up.
  • Keep the data check attached to the Slack 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 in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to retrieve unique values for the Keen io collection and property named in a reaction-marked Slack message.
  • 4Select the reaction-added trigger, set the agreed emoji or channel filter if available, and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test on a real message with a clearly named collection and property.

Questions about this workflow

What makes this different from a general schema inspection?

It retrieves observed unique values for one property rather than the collection's inferred schema.

Can the workflow infer missing names?

Use a message that clearly states the collection and property so the lookup is targeted.
