Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
A business event can prompt a market question, but finding and sharing relevant data adds friction when you are already busy.
- Start a data review from an external HTTP request.
- Share the requested market context in Slack.
- Keep a business event and its market context close together.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpha Vantage and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe what the incoming event means, which Alpha Vantage data to review, and what Slack update to post.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and review the message for accuracy.
