Make important Chartly visuals discoverable in Slack
Start a Notis automation with an HTTP request and add the Chartly visual as a Slack remote file for easier discovery and sharing.
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 chart URL may be useful to the team but hard to find again when it stays buried in a one-off update.
- Keep a chart reference available for Slack discovery.
- Make a useful external visual easier to share with the team.
- Reduce repeated searching for chart URLs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Chartly and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add the supplied Chartly visual as a remote file with a unique external ID and an external URL Slack can access.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Chartly URL and confirm the remote file is available in Slack.
