Answer Contentful space questions from Slack

Trigger

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action

Questions about this workflow
Will every channel message trigger it?
The automation can use the message context and your instruction to act only on clear lookup requests.
What if no matching space is obvious?
