Post focused Autom search results in Slack
Share a short, relevant set of search results without forwarding a long list of links by hand.
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
Search result lists are noisy to share, and teammates may not know which links are worth opening.
- Share a concise selection instead of a raw result dump.
- Explain why each result was selected.
- Give teammates direct links to inspect.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Autom and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the search, selection criteria, and Slack post format.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and have your caller provide the search request.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real search and confirm the chosen links open.
Questions about this workflow
Can it guarantee every result is relevant?
No. It can apply the criteria in your instruction to returned results, but a person should review important decisions.
Can I share all results instead?
You can request a fuller list, though a focused selection is usually easier for a team to scan.
