Trigger

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
A referral can feel urgent and personal, making it frustrating to discover an invalid address after drafting a careful message.
- Check a referral address before composing a personal outreach note.
- Preserve momentum while the referral context is available.
- Reduce avoidable back-and-forth to correct an email.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Kickbox to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation with a single plain-language instruction to verify referred contact emails shared in DMs, and choose the direct message trigger.
- 3Choose where Notis reports runs and test with one real referral DM containing an email address.
Questions about this workflow
Will every DM cause a verification?
The trigger sees DMs, so the prompt should specify that Notis should act only when a referred contact email is shared.
What result should I expect?
Kickbox returns a verification for the individual address through the selected single verification action.
