Fetch Slack History Alongside Supplied Slides Updates
A bounded Slack history fetch adds conversation context to the Slides updates supplied by the handoff.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Fetch conversation history
Fetches a chronological list of messages and events from a specified slack conversation, accessible by the authenticated user/bot, with options for pagination and time range filtering.
Why this helps
Context reconstruction fails when a Slack conversation is read without the corresponding supplied presentation updates.
- Provides a bounded Slack context snapshot
- Makes missing Slides evidence visible
- Uses the webhook for an on-demand handoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Slack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal named 'Fetch Slack History Alongside Supplied Slides Updates'.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction: 'When an incoming Notis webhook starts, fetch recent messages from an exact slack conversation and pair them with externally supplied slides updates. Use only the supplied context: exact Slack conversation ID, time window, presentation identifier, and externally supplied Slides update records or baseline.'
- 4Select the incoming webhook and choose a channel for run reports; provide the stated context.
- 5Test with one real, bounded example and review the returned Slack result.
