Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Why this helps
Useful findings can blend into a busy Slack thread, leaving teammates unsure which items deserve attention.
- Start research with a webhook when a question comes up.
- Signal a relevant Slack message when findings meet your criteria.
- Make promising sources easier for teammates to spot.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bright Data and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the research question and when a Slack reaction is warranted.
- 3Pick a webhook as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports, then test with one real research example.
Questions about this workflow
What Slack message gets the reaction?
The automation needs the relevant Slack channel and message timestamp to identify the message. Supply them in the request or instruction context.
Can the reaction summarize the source?
No. A reaction only adds a specified emoji to an existing message. Ask Notis to report details separately if needed.
Does Bright Data send a trigger event when it finds a source?
No. Bright Data exposes no trigger events in this workflow. The Notis webhook starts the check.
