Make Bitly QR campaign resources easy to share

Put a QR campaign resource where the team can discover it by adding its external URL and unique ID to Slack.

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

QR campaign assets are easy to lose when their links are scattered across launch messages and personal notes.

  • Centralize discovery of an external QR resource in Slack.
  • Keep the link available for team sharing.
  • Use the supplied external URL and unique ID.

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 QR campaign URL as a Slack remote file using its unique external ID.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one QR resource URL accessible to Slack.

Questions about this workflow

Does this generate a QR code?

No. This workflow adds a reference to a supplied external resource. It does not create a QR code or Bitly link.

What must be supplied?

Provide a unique external ID and an external URL accessible by Slack.

Can Slack preview or access the resource?

The URL needs to be accessible by Slack. This action adds the reference and does not change the source resource's permissions.
