Link supporting documents to Aryn analytics in Slack
Keep the documents behind an analytics result close to the result itself.
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
Numbers lose context when teammates cannot quickly reach the documents they came from.
- Preserve context around analytical results.
- Make supporting material discoverable where teams discuss results.
- Reduce repeated requests for source documents.
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 supporting Aryn source documents as Slack remote file references when each has a unique ID and accessible URL.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one analytics result and its supporting document references.
Questions about this workflow
Can this add multiple supporting documents?
It can add references for the documents available in the event and supported by the connected action.
Does Aryn always return source documents?
The app description does not specify a source-document event shape. The webhook must supply the IDs and URLs needed for references.
Are the references public?
The action adds remote files for Slack discovery and sharing. The URLs must be accessible to Slack under the source's permissions.
