Gather the Slack context behind a Bing search issue
When an external monitor or review process flags an issue, use its webhook to bring the relevant Slack thread replies together.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Retrieve conversation replies
Retrieves replies to a specific parent message in a slack conversation, using the channel id and the parent message's timestamp (`ts`).
Why this helps
Investigating a search issue takes longer when the decision trail is buried in a thread and the alert arrives elsewhere.
- Bring prior discussion into an issue review
- Reduce repeated questions about decisions already made
- Keep investigations moving with less context switching
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bing Webmaster Tools and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations and give it a descriptive name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve replies to the Slack thread identified by an external Bing issue report.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example that supplies an accessible Slack channel and parent message timestamp.
Questions about this workflow
Does Bing send the issue webhook?
No. Bing Webmaster Tools has no trigger events here. An external monitor or process must send a webhook containing the Slack thread identifiers.
What information is needed to retrieve replies?
The action requires a Slack conversation ID and the parent message timestamp, and the connected account must have access.
