Configure secrets from Slack
DM Notis with your environment variable details, and it adds them to your Vercel project instantly. No dashboard hunting required.
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
Add Environment Variable
Tool to add an environment variable to a vercel project. use after confirming the project exists and you need to configure secrets or configuration values across environments before deployment. example: "add api key=secret to production".
Why this helps
Setting environment variables requires remembering project structure, navigating nested dashboard settings, and handling secrets carefully. This cognitive overhead is especially problematic when you need to add variables quickly.
- Add env vars without leaving Slack
- Reduce configuration errors from UI navigation
- Audit trail of variable changes in Slack
- Faster onboarding of new environments
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Vercel integrations to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation named 'Add Environment Variables'.
- 3Set the trigger to 'Direct Message Received' - Notis watches your DMs.
- 4Write the prompt: 'When I DM you a request to add an environment variable, add it to my Vercel project with the specified key and value.'
- 5Select your notification channel and test by DMing 'Add environment variable API_KEY with value secret123'.
Questions about this workflow
Is it safe to send secrets via Slack DM?
Slack DMs are encrypted. Notis handles secrets securely and Vercel stores them encrypted. Follow your org's security policy for best practices.
Can I add multiple env vars at once?
Yes, list them in your DM and Notis adds them all. Use a format like: 'Add API_KEY=value1, DATABASE_URL=value2'.
Which environments get the variable?
Specify in your DM (e.g., 'production only' or 'all environments'). Notis applies to the scope you request.
