Check Amcards contacts from a Slack DM
Turn a private Slack request into useful contact context before you reply.
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
Get Contacts
This tool retrieves a list of contacts from amcards. it is used for managing contacts by providing details like limit, skip, and filters (e.g., last name, first name, email). the tool returns an array of contact objects containing fields such as id, first name, last name, email, created at, and updated at.
Why this helps
Private requests about prospects are easy to postpone when contact context requires a separate search.
