Make converted files easy to find in Slack
When a conversion is ready, send its accessible file link to Notis and make the output discoverable from 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
Converted assets get buried in download folders or scattered across messages, leaving teammates unsure which file is current.
- Give teammates one discoverable reference to the finished file.
- Reduce time spent searching for the correct conversion output.
- Keep the original external file link available for sharing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CloudConvert and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a Notis automation and describe adding each submitted converted file as a Slack remote file.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and send the converted file's accessible URL and unique external ID to it.
- 4Choose where Notis run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real converted file and confirm it appears in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know a conversion is complete?
CloudConvert has no listed trigger event here. Start the automation with a Notis webhook when your conversion process is ready to share the output.
What does Slack need to reference the file?
The remote file action requires a unique external ID and an external URL that Slack can access.
Does this upload a copy of the file to Slack?
No. This action adds a reference to an external file for discovery and sharing.
