Find generated documents from Slack
A completed document is more useful when the team can find it. Add its accessible external URL to Slack as a remote file reference when ActiveMerge reports completion.
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
Generated documents often live outside the conversation where teammates need to discuss and use them.
- Make completed document links discoverable in Slack.
- Bring generated work closer to its discussion.
- Keep the external document as the source of truth.
