Make finished PDFs easy to find in Slack
When an Api2pdf job finishes, send the document link to Slack as a discoverable remote file, without a manual handoff.
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
Finished PDFs can sit in a conversion tool while teammates wait for someone to share the link.
- Make completed documents easier to find in Slack.
- Reduce manual link sharing after a conversion.
- Keep document handoffs moving between tools.

- 1Connect Api2pdf and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the outcome in one instruction.
- 3Choose a Notis webhook trigger and send it when the PDF is ready.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real generated PDF and its accessible URL.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
A Notis webhook starts it when your process sends a request after Api2pdf has produced a PDF.
What does Slack receive?
Slack adds a reference to the external file. The URL must be accessible to Slack, and the workflow needs the file's unique external ID and URL.
