Keep priority document references within reach
Give important document work a visible marker in Slack. A Notis webhook workflow can star the matching item when the incoming ActiveMerge update meets your stated priority rule.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Important document links can disappear into busy Slack channels before you get a chance to return to them.
- Mark selected document work for easy return.
- Apply a user-defined priority rule to webhook details.
- Reduce time spent searching busy channels.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis the outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, specify which ActiveMerge webhook updates count as priority and ask Notis to star the matching Slack item.
- 4Choose notis_webhook and configure ActiveMerge to send the document and matching Slack item details to the webhook URL.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real priority item.
