Keep important Bitly link messages within reach
Give an important link announcement a visible place in your Slack sidebar by starring the matching message on a schedule.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add a star to an item

Why this helps
Useful link announcements disappear into busy Slack conversations, making them hard to find again.
- Make a selected link message easier to revisit.
- Avoid manually scanning a chosen conversation.
- Use an existing Slack message rather than reposting it.
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: check the supplied Slack conversation and time window for messages containing the designated Bitly link, then star the matching message.
- 4Choose a Notis schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Slack message containing the link.
Questions about this workflow
Can Bitly itself trigger this scheduled workflow?
No. Bitly exposes no trigger events in this package. The workflow runs on a Notis schedule.
Can this star every Bitly link posted anywhere in Slack?
The workflow needs a supplied conversation and time window to inspect. It should only star a matching message found in the accessible Slack history.
Does starring repost or edit the message?
No. The Slack action adds a star to the specified message.
