Check Contentful API access privately
Ask in a DM and get a safe authorization readiness signal.
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
Get CMA Token
Tool to retrieve a Contentful Management API (CMA) access token. Use when making CMA calls to ensure valid authorization.
Why this helps
Credential checks are easy to postpone when they require a separate technical handoff.
- Keep access checks private
- Avoid sharing sensitive credentials in chat
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Contentful graphql once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named DM CMA Access Check.
- 3Describe that an authorized DM should retrieve a CMA token and return only a confirmation of readiness.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received, select a report channel, and test with one real DM.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the token go?
The action retrieves it for the automation context; instruct Notis never to display or store the token in the report.
Can anyone trigger it?
Use your connected Slack permissions and an instruction that limits requests to authorized users.
