Start a pricing page check from Slack

When someone flags a pricing page in Slack, let Notis start the Apify check.

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

Run Actor Asynchronously

Tool to run a specific actor asynchronously. use when you need to trigger an actor run without waiting for completion and retrieve its run details immediately.

Why this helps

Competitive pricing research often gets postponed while people switch tools and assemble the check manually.

  • Start a public web check directly from the request.
  • Keep the reason for a pricing check in the original Slack conversation.
  • Avoid a separate manual launch step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Apify to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to start pricing checks from Slack.
  • 3Write one instruction describing the requests and the existing Actor to run.
  • 4Choose the Slack channel-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real request for a pricing-page check.

Questions about this workflow

Does this decide which sites are safe to collect from?

The Actor and its configuration determine what it collects. Make sure its use fits the sites and data involved.

Can I use it for competitor pages?

Yes, when the existing Actor is configured for the relevant public pages.
