Make Algodocs document references discoverable in Slack
Bring a stable document reference into Slack so teammates can find and share it from their workspace.
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
Useful processed documents can be difficult to find later when their references stay outside the team's shared workspace.
- Make eligible document references available for Slack discovery.
- Preserve a direct route to the externally stored file.
- Reduce repeated searches for processed documents.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algodocs and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe which document references to add.
- 3Choose a webhook trigger for the relevant Algodocs result.
- 4Choose where Notis run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real result that includes a stable external ID and accessible URL.
Questions about this workflow
What does Slack require for a remote file?
The action requires a unique external ID and an external URL that Slack can access. Confirm both are available before testing.
Does this upload the document to Slack?
No. It adds a reference to an external file; it does not upload or create the underlying document.
