Make verification reports available in Slack
Keep a report link discoverable in Slack when a useful Abstract result has a shareable URL.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.
Why this helps
A report link shared once in chat can be difficult to find when someone needs it later.
- Make an external report reference available through Slack discovery.
- Keep the report URL associated with its unique external ID.
- Reduce the need to hunt through old messages for a report link.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add the report URL from the webhook as a Slack remote file when a valid external ID and URL are present.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real report URL that Slack can access.
