Share browser research files with your Slack team
Turn an Anchor browser research session into a Slack file reference your team can discover and discuss.
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 files found while browsing can get stranded in a browser session, leaving teammates without a clear way to locate them.
- Give teammates a discoverable Slack reference to an external file.
- Reduce manual copying between browser research and team conversations.
- Keep the file URL and its purpose close to where the team works.
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 to add a Slack remote-file reference for each relevant external file returned by the browser task, including its accessible URL and a clear label.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real browser result and confirm Slack can access the file URL.
Questions about this workflow
Does this upload the file to Slack?
No. Slack adds a reference to an external file. The URL must be accessible to Slack.
What should the browser task return?
It should return an external file URL and a stable identifier for that file. If the browser result lacks either, supply it in the task context.
Can the automation share every page it visits?
Describe which external files matter in the instruction. The automation should only create references for those results.
