Refresh Slack previews for Bench reports
Make shared benchmark links explain themselves at a glance.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Customize URL unfurl
Customizes url previews (unfurling) in a specific slack message using a url-encoded json in `unfurls` to define custom content or remove existing previews.
Why this helps
A stale or generic link preview forces teammates to open reports just to understand why they matter.
- Make report links self explanatory
- Improve scanability in busy channels
- Keep context near the artifact

Questions about this workflow
Can the preview mention the latest score?
