Bring release previews into Slack
Give reviewers a current visual of the release page without asking them to open a browser, take a screenshot, and upload it by hand.
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
Release reviews lose momentum when someone has to capture the page, find the right Slack channel, and explain which version to inspect.
- Cuts the manual screenshot and upload steps from release review.
- Keeps a shareable reference close to the team's Slack conversations.
- Uses a webhook request to start a review capture when your release process is ready.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apiflash and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to capture the release page with Apiflash and add its accessible preview as a remote file in Slack.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and configure your release process to send the HTTP request when the page is ready.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real release page and confirm Slack can access the preview URL.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
A request to its Notis webhook starts the run. Connect that request to the point in your release process when the page is ready to review.
Does Slack receive an image upload?
This workflow adds an external file reference. The preview URL must be accessible to Slack, and the action requires a unique external id and external URL.
Can Apiflash detect when my page changes?
Apiflash can capture screenshots and monitor site changes, but no Apiflash trigger events are listed here. The Notis webhook is the grounded trigger for this workflow.
