Make Cloudflare incident files easy to find in Slack
When an incident document is ready, pass its accessible URL and unique identifier to a Notis webhook. Notis can add it to Slack as a remote file reference.
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
Incident notes and supporting files are hard to find when they stay outside the team's shared workspace.
- Make an external incident file discoverable in Slack.
- Give the team a shared reference point for incident follow-up.
- Reduce repeated searches for supporting material.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudflare api key and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the incident reference workflow.
- 3Describe how Notis should add the provided incident file reference to Slack.
- 4Pick a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file URL accessible to Slack and verify the reference is added.
