Put generated proposals where your team can find them
Send a proposal PDF from Cloudlayer into Slack with its context and a direct link, ready for review.
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
Proposal links get buried in handoffs, leaving reviewers unsure where to find the latest file.
- Make proposal files discoverable in Slack.
- Include the customer or project context with the link.
- Reduce follow-up messages asking where the PDF is.

- 1Connect Cloudlayer and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Describe adding each generated proposal PDF to Slack with its project context and link.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real proposal example.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
A Notis webhook starts it when an HTTP request is sent. Cloudlayer does not provide a listed trigger event.
What does Slack receive?
Slack receives a remote-file reference and link. The link must be accessible to Slack, and the request should include the file URL and a unique external ID.
