Notis

Give an Amazon product research request its own Slack channel

A webhook can turn a new product research request into a focused Slack space. Notis looks up the ASIN details and creates a channel for the discussion.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create channel

Initiates a public or private channel-based conversation

Why this helps

Product research spread across general channels is difficult to follow and easy to lose among unrelated messages.

  • Start a research workflow from an HTTP request.
  • Create a dedicated place to discuss a product.
  • Reduce unrelated conversation in a general channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asin data api and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, describe the ASIN lookup and the purpose and naming approach for the discussion channel.
  • 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request and verify the intended channel is created.

Questions about this workflow

Can the channel name include the ASIN?

You can request a naming approach in the instruction, subject to Slack's channel naming rules.

Does the webhook need to include a product?

Provide the ASIN in the request or make it available to the automation so Notis knows which product to look up.
