Enrich prospects from Slack DMs
Move from a private recommendation to a complete prospect profile in seconds.
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
Enrich person with Apollo
Enriches and retrieves information for a person from apollo.io, requiring one of: `email`, `hashed email`, `id`, `linkedin url`, or (`first name` and `last name` with `organization name` or `domain`) for matching; `webhook url` must be provided if `reveal phone number` is true.
Why this helps
Important introductions often arrive in DMs, where details are easy to lose or postpone.
- Captures private introductions quickly
- Adds reliable context before outreach
- Avoids copy and paste between tools

- 3Tell Notis to extract the prospect identifiers from the DM and enrich the person in Apollo.
