Make Cincopa media easier to find in Slack
Add a reference to an externally accessible Cincopa asset so teammates can discover and share it through Slack.
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
Useful media links can be hard to find later when they only live in a Cincopa gallery or a one-off message.
- Make an external Cincopa media URL discoverable in Slack.
- Keep a stable external identifier with the media reference.
- Reduce time spent searching old messages for asset links.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cincopa and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: add a Slack remote file reference for the supplied Cincopa URL and unique external identifier.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Cincopa URL that Slack can access.
Questions about this workflow
What information does Slack require?
The remote file action requires a unique external identifier and an external URL accessible by Slack. Provide both in the webhook request or make them available to Notis.
Does this upload the media into Slack?
No. It adds a reference to an external file; the Cincopa URL remains the media location.
