Ground browser research in the team's Slack context
Bring the conversation up to speed before researching a topic in the browser, so the next step starts with what the team already knows.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Fetch conversation history
Fetches a chronological list of messages and events from a specified slack conversation, accessible by the authenticated user/bot, with options for pagination and time range filtering.
Why this helps
Browser research often starts without the context, decisions, or open questions already recorded in Slack.
- Carry existing team context into web research.
- Reduce repeated investigation and context switching.
- Focus the browser task on open questions already raised in Slack.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Anchor browser and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or open Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which Slack conversation to review, what context to extract, and how to use it to guide the browser research task.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real conversation and research question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow post anything back to Slack?
No. It fetches conversation history as input for browser research. Choose a separate Slack action if you want a message or update posted.
Can it read every Slack channel?
It can fetch history only for conversations the connected Slack account or bot can access.
Can it use an entire conversation history?
Slack history can be time and pagination limited. Specify the relevant timeframe or let Notis retrieve the accessible context needed for the task.
