Get a task file into the browser session
A DM with a file and a clear session reference can prepare a browser task with its needed resource.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Upload File
Tool to upload a file to a browser session as an agent resource. use after starting or referencing a session when you need to provide file inputs (single files or zip archives) for web forms or ai-driven tasks.
Why this helps
Files needed for web work can get stranded in conversation while someone handles the upload as a separate step.
- Move a requested file into the session's agent resources.
- Keep the file handoff connected to the direct task request.
- Reduce repeated context switches before a browser task starts.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Anchor browser to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to upload a file from a DM to the identified browser session as an agent resource.
- 3Describe how the DM identifies the intended file and session in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Pick the Slack Direct Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
- 5Test with a real DM containing an appropriate file and an existing session reference.
