Build a shared event filter glossary from Slack questions
Make recurring category questions answerable for everyone in the channel.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
List Event Categories
Tool to list all event categories. Use when you need to fetch available event categories.
Why this helps
Teams repeatedly debate event labels because the calendar's available categories are not documented in their workflow.
- Reduce repeated terminology debates
- Make filters easier for new teammates
- Keep research language tied to available categories
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Coinmarketcal once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Channel event filter glossary.
- 3Describe that messages asking about crypto event types should retrieve CoinMarketCal categories and return a concise glossary entry relevant to the discussion.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test it with one real Slack question about event terminology.
Questions about this workflow
Will it update an existing glossary document?
It returns a report; maintaining a persistent glossary requires a destination or process that stores the report.
Can it answer questions unrelated to event categories?
The prompt should instruct it to respond briefly that the workflow covers CoinMarketCal categories only.
