Quick Context: Fetch Slide and Slack History On-Demand

You jump into a meeting and need context on recent updates. Instead of switching between tabs and scrolling through history, Notis fetches the last week of presentation changes and Slack conversation in seconds via a webhook.

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

Jumping into discussions without context wastes everyone's time—finding recent changes requires tab-switching and manual scrolling.

  • Context arrives instantly without manual searching
  • Perfect for joining meetings late or switching between projects
  • Reduces cognitive load of context-switching

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Slides and Slack.
  • 2Create an automation named 'Fetch presentation context'.
  • 3Enter: 'When triggered via webhook, fetch the last 7 days of updates to [presentation-name] and recent Slack messages from [channel-name].'
  • 4Select 'Webhook' as the trigger type.
  • 5Before a meeting, call the webhook URL and get a summary—no tab-switching needed.

Questions about this workflow

How do I trigger this webhook?

Notis gives you a URL. Call it from Slack, a button, or another tool—any method works.

What information gets fetched?

Mention what you need in your prompt—slide edits, comments, recent Slack messages, author details—and Notis will include it.

Can I customize the time range?

Yes—'last week', 'last 48 hours', 'since yesterday'—specify in your prompt and Notis will adjust.
