Trigger

Action
List Coins
Tool to retrieve list of all available coins/cryptocurrencies in CoinMarketCal database. Use when you need to fetch coin information including IDs, names, symbols, and event counts.
Why this helps
Ticker symbols and project names are often ambiguous in team conversations.
- Reduce symbol ambiguity
- Create cleaner research handoffs
- Surface event counts alongside coin records
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Coinmarketcal once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Channel coin identity check.
- 3Describe that each channel message mentioning a crypto project should be matched against CoinMarketCal coins and summarized with name, symbol, identifier, and event count when available.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a report destination.
- 5Test it with a real message containing an ambiguous project name.
Questions about this workflow
What if several coins match the same name?
The prompt can ask Notis to list all plausible matches and flag the ambiguity for review.
Does this fetch upcoming events?
No. It uses the coin list action; use the event action for dates and announcements.
