Create DigiCert API keys from a Slack DM
Handle trusted API key requests without opening another admin console.
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
Create API Key
Tool to create a new api key with specified permissions. use when you have a valid digicert user id and need to generate a new key. note the api key appears only once; save it securely.
Why this helps
API key requests get buried in DMs and are easy to forget or misread.
- Capture the requested permissions
- Reduce admin context switching
- Keep a creation report for follow-up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Digicert in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and state that authorized DMs should request a DigiCert API key with named permissions.
- 3Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real authorized DM and store the one-time key securely.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the key appear?
DigiCert shows the API key only once, so the report must be handled securely.
Does every DM create a key?
Your prompt should require authorization and a complete request before creation.
