Notis

Check contact emails sent in your Slack DMs

A valuable contact can arrive in a private message and then slip from view. Let Notis check the address while the introduction is top of mind.

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

Kickbox Single Verification

Tool to verify a single email address via kickbox. use when you need real-time validation of an individual email before critical workflows.

Why this helps

Important contact details often arrive privately, where a manual verification step is easy to postpone.

  • Verify an introduction contact before drafting a personal note.
  • Reduce the chance of a bounce interrupting a warm connection.
  • Keep the next action tied to the DM that surfaced the address.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Kickbox to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation by asking Notis in plain language to verify contact emails shared in Slack DMs, then choose the direct message trigger.
  • 3Select a channel for run reports and test with one real DM that includes a contact email.

Questions about this workflow

Does the DM trigger include channel messages?

No. This workflow uses the Slack direct message trigger, which is distinct from channel messages.

Can it verify more than one email at once?
