Make Bitly partner resources discoverable in Slack
Keep a useful partner resource available to the team by adding its external reference to Slack with the identifying details your process provides.
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
Useful partner links are easy to lose when they live only in individual messages or browser tabs.
- Make an external resource discoverable in Slack.
- Add a reference without uploading the underlying file.
- Use identifying details supplied by the source process.

- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: add the supplied partner resource as a Slack remote file using its external ID and URL.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real external resource accessible to Slack.
