Check domains with an emoji

React to a Slack message about a domain with a magnifying glass emoji, and Notis checks if it's available for registration.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Check Domain Availability

Tool to check if a domain is available for registration. use when you need to verify domain availability before purchase.

Why this helps

Checking domain availability requires juggling Vercel, WHOIS lookups, and registrar sites. This friction often delays domain decisions.

  • Check domains instantly without browser tabs
  • Share availability results with your team
  • Quick decision-making for domain naming
  • Integrated domain research workflow

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Vercel to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation called 'Check Domain Availability'.
  • 3Set the trigger to 'Message Reaction Added' with emoji (e.g., 'mag' for magnifying glass).
  • 4Write the prompt: 'When someone reacts with [magnifying glass], check if the domain mentioned in the message is available.'
  • 5Select your notification channel and test by reacting to a message about a domain.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which domain to check?

Extract the domain from the message text (e.g., 'should we buy myapp.com?'). Notis identifies and checks it.

What registrar does Vercel use?

Vercel integrates with multiple registrars. Notis checks availability across Vercel's network.

Can I see pricing when I check availability?

Yes, modify the automation to also fetch domain pricing alongside availability.
