Instant Stack AI Health Status in Direct Messages

When your team needs to know if Stack AI is up, they shouldn't have to navigate to another dashboard. Notis checks the health endpoint instantly when someone DMs you, posting results directly in Slack.

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

Check Health

Tool to check the health status of the Stack AI API. Use to verify API availability and service status.

Why this helps

Engineers context-switch out of Slack to check Stack AI dashboard status during debugging sessions, breaking their focus and slowing down troubleshooting.

  • Cut incident investigation time by seconds, staying in Slack
  • Reduce context-switching during debugging or urgent troubleshooting
  • Get current API status without relying on memory or cached info

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Stack AI and Slack to Notis in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I get a direct message asking about Stack AI health, check the Stack AI API health status and reply with the current status.'
  • 3Set the trigger to 'Direct Message Received'.
  • 4Notis will automatically reply in the DM thread when someone asks about Stack AI status.
  • 5Test by sending a DM like 'Is Stack AI up?' and verify the health status appears.

Questions about this workflow

Can this detect DMs about Stack AI even if they don't say those exact words?

Yes. Notis uses natural language understanding to infer when someone is asking about service status, so casual questions like 'Is the system up?' will trigger the check.

What does Stack AI health status include?

The health check returns API availability and service status, helping you confirm whether issues are on your end or Stack AI's infrastructure.

Will this reply in every DM?

Only DMs that Notis interprets as questions about Stack AI health. You can refine the automation's prompt to be more or less strict.
