Bring API research findings into Slack
Send a request when research is ready and give your team a short summary they can act on without opening every result.
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
Useful research gets buried in raw API responses, leaving teammates to repeat the same reading and synthesis.
- Turn result-heavy data into a concise team update.
- Keep relevant context and unanswered questions visible.
- Reduce repeated reading across the team.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api labz and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe how to summarize research results available through Api labz for Slack.
- 3Choose a Notis webhook trigger and have the research process call its endpoint when results are ready.
- 4Choose where Notis run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real research result and review the summary in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow retrieve research from any API automatically?
It can only use research data available through your Api labz connection or supplied with the webhook request.
Can the summary include open questions?
Yes. Include open questions and source context in the instruction you give Notis.
