Bring completed Backendless exports into Slack
Make an export discoverable by adding its supplied link to Slack when Backendless reports it is ready.
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 completed export can be hard to find if its link is only visible in the backend or a transient response.
- Create a Slack reference when the export is reported ready.
- Keep the external export accessible at its original URL.
- Use a stable identifier to avoid ambiguous references.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and Slack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and describe which completed exports should be shared.
- 3Tell Notis to add a remote file reference when the webhook confirms an export is ready and supplies its unique ID and Slack-accessible URL.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real completed-export payload to verify the reference.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow generate or upload the export?
No. Backendless must generate the export and provide its ID and accessible URL; this workflow adds a Slack reference.
Can Slack access a private export URL?
The URL must be accessible to Slack under the relevant permissions. Verify access with a real example.
