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?
