Resolve cryptocurrency IDs from Slack direct messages
Give analysts the right asset identifier before they request more data.
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
Cryptocurrency Map
Tool to retrieve a mapping of all cryptocurrencies, including their unique IDs, symbols, and names. Use when you need reference IDs for crypto assets.
Why this helps
Symbol confusion leads to lookups for the wrong asset and wasted follow-up.
- Reduces symbol ambiguity
- Returns reference IDs
- Makes later lookups reliable

Questions about this workflow
Why resolve an ID first?
Map results provide unique IDs, names, and symbols for precise follow-up actions.
Can it choose duplicate symbols?
