Make browser research exports findable in Slack
Give your team a Slack-discoverable reference to a useful research export.
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
Research files can be hard to locate when they live outside the workspace and have no Slack reference.
- Create a Slack reference to an externally hosted research file.
- Keep the external URL available for discovery and sharing.
- Use the source title and a stable external identifier to distinguish the file.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browser tool and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which research exports should be referenced in Slack.
- 3Choose a Notis webhook as the trigger.
- 4Choose a run report destination, then test with an export that has a stable ID and Slack-accessible URL.
Questions about this workflow
Does this upload the file into Slack?
No. It adds a reference to an external file. The external URL must be accessible to Slack.
What information does the remote file action need?
The action requires a unique external ID and an external URL. Ensure the browser result provides both before asking Notis to add a reference.
