Check Your Ecologi Tree Count from a Slack DM
A direct message asking for a tree count does not need to become a task to remember. Notis can retrieve the Ecologi total and report it back to you.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggers when a direct message is sent, including replies in message threads.
Action
Get User Trees
View the number of trees a user has funded.

- Retrieve the funded tree total when a direct message arrives.
