Register a Hosted Presentation File Reference
A registered remote-file reference improves discovery while the hosted presentation stays in its original location.
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
Teams lose time searching for the approved presentation file when its durable reference is not discoverable in Slack.
- Preserves the supplied file identity
- Makes an existing hosted artifact easier to find
- Does not claim a Slides export or upload
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Slack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal named 'Register a Hosted Presentation File Reference'.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction: 'When an incoming Notis webhook starts, add a searchable slack reference for a supplied hosted deck or pdf without exporting or uploading it. Use only the supplied context: usable Slack-accessible hosted URL, external ID, title, and exact authorization scope.'
- 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.
Questions about this workflow
Does this upload the deck?
No. Supply an already-hosted Slack-accessible URL and external ID; the action registers a reference.
What makes the reference authorized?
Provide the exact external ID, title, usable URL, and scope approved for Slack discovery.
