Share source files behind Aryn summaries

Give teammates a path back to the source behind a useful Aryn summary.

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

A summary can travel without its source, leaving reviewers unable to verify details quickly.

  • Keep summaries connected to their source material.
  • Make verification easier for reviewers.
  • Reduce back and forth asking where a file came from.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Aryn and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to add the original source file as a Slack remote file reference when a summary is ready for review.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real summary and confirm its source URL is accessible.

Questions about this workflow

Does this post the summary text too?

This workflow adds a remote file reference. The listed action does not post message text.

What information is required?

Slack needs a unique external ID and an external URL that Slack can access. Ensure both are present in the event data.

Can the reference point to a private file?

The URL must be accessible to Slack under the access rules of the connected source. Test with the intended reviewers.
