Put every Bitly link in the right Slack conversation

Send a short link to Slack alongside the campaign or project context you provide, so teammates can find and share it without asking for the backstory.

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

Links get pasted without context, leaving teammates to guess what they are for or where to find the original.

  • Keep a shared link discoverable in Slack.
  • Include context provided with the webhook request.
  • Reduce follow-up questions about a link's purpose.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bitly and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: add the supplied Bitly link to Slack as a remote file and include the provided context.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real Bitly link and a Slack destination.

Questions about this workflow

Does Bitly start this workflow automatically?

No. Bitly has no available trigger event here. A Notis webhook starts the workflow, and its request must supply the link and any context to share.

What does the Slack action do?

It adds a reference to an external file using the supplied external ID and URL so it can be discovered and shared in Slack.

Can Notis infer campaign details from the Bitly URL?

Do not rely on that. Include campaign or project context in the webhook request if you want it shared.
