Make CardClan card links easier to find in Slack
When a CardClan link needs to be shared with the team, add its reference to Slack for discovery from one webhook-driven workflow.
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
A useful card link can get buried in a handoff or copied message, leaving teammates to ask for it again.
- Make a supplied card URL discoverable in Slack
- Reduce repeated requests for a card link
- Keep the link reference tied to the webhook details
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CardClan and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis for adding card link references.
- 3Tell Notis to add a Slack remote file from the webhook's external URL and unique external ID, using only supplied values.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real CardClan card link and confirm it is accessible to Slack.
Questions about this workflow
What does Slack need for a remote file?
The action requires a unique external ID and an external URL accessible by Slack. The webhook must supply these values.
Does this upload the card itself to Slack?
No. This action adds a reference to an external file or URL for discovery and sharing; it does not upload the underlying card.
