Make recurring Carbone reports discoverable in Slack
Run a scheduled check and add the selected reports' accessible links to Slack for discovery.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Recurring reports can be difficult to locate when their latest links are scattered across delivery channels.
- Make selected recurring reports discoverable in Slack.
- Use a predictable schedule to refresh report references.
- Reduce time spent tracking down the latest report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Carbone and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that checks available Carbone report information and adds selected accessible URLs as Slack remote files.
- 3Choose the Notis cron trigger and set the schedule.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real report URL and unique external ID.
