Notis

Give a focused web task its own browser session

Start a separate browser session from the channel request so the task has a dedicated place to run.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Start Browser Session

Tool to start a new browser session with optional customizations. use when you need to programmatically allocate an isolated browser instance with recording, proxy, live view, and feature toggles.

Why this helps

Shared or reused workspaces can add friction when a task needs a clean, separate browser context.

  • Create a separate browser workspace for a focused request.
  • Reduce manual setup before a contained web task.
  • Keep the new session tied to the team's task discussion.

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 start a fresh browser session when a channel message requests an isolated workspace.
  • 3Describe the requests that need a separate session and any supported customizations in one plain-language instruction.
  • 4Pick the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
  • 5Test with a real request for an isolated browser session.
