Help the team find the updated template
A revised template can be easier to use when its OneDrive source also has a visible reference in Slack.
Trigger
File Updated
Trigger that fires when a OneDrive file's content or metadata changes. Returns file ID, last modified time, and modifier info.
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
People may keep using old copies when updated templates are buried in storage or hard to locate in conversation.
- Give an updated template a Slack discovery route.
- Help teammates return to the source file instead of old copies.
- Reduce questions about where the latest template lives.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OneDrive and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to add a Slack remote file reference when a tracked OneDrive template is updated.
- 3Select File Updated as the trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with one real template update and confirm the OneDrive URL is available to intended Slack users.
