Make an Ahrefs research report easier to find in Slack
Put a reference to an externally accessible research report in Slack so the team can find the source alongside its work.
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
Research links can disappear into individual tabs and be hard for collaborators to rediscover.
- Make an external report reference discoverable in Slack.
- Keep the report source near the conversation about it.
- Start sharing from an on-demand request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Slack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the name and prompt from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add the supplied externally accessible Ahrefs report URL to Slack as a remote file reference.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real report URL and its unique external identifier.
Questions about this workflow
Does Slack host or copy the report?
No. This action adds a reference to an external file; Slack must be able to access the URL.
What information is needed?
The remote file action requires a unique external identifier and an external URL accessible to Slack.
