Request website research and get the brief in Slack
When a question comes up, start an on-demand BrowseAI extraction and have Notis turn the returned information into a Slack-ready brief.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Ad hoc web research often gets scattered across tabs, leaving findings hard to share and easy to forget.
- Put extracted findings where your team can act on them.
- Turn raw returned information into a readable brief.
- Start a focused research run when a request arrives.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BrowseAI and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use BrowseAI for the requested website extraction and post a brief of the returned findings to Slack.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by starting one real research request through the webhook.
Questions about this workflow
What starts the research run?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts the automation. Include or otherwise make available the research request and target website details.
Does this guarantee a particular extraction format?
No. The brief is based on the information BrowseAI returns. Specify the useful structure in your instruction and test it with a real request.
Can it summarize information BrowseAI did not return?
No. Notis can organize returned data, but missing website details or context must be supplied separately.
