Notis

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.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 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.
