Get the source file when a Slack request needs it
When someone needs the original file, ask in Slack with its Aryn identifiers and retrieve the binary content.
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
Get Document Binary
Tool to retrieve the binary content of a document by docset id and document id.
Why this helps
Switching tools to locate and download a source file interrupts the work that prompted the request.
- Make source files easier to retrieve when their IDs are known.
- Keep the request and retrieval in the same working context.
- Avoid repeating the search and download steps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Aryn to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a named automation through the portal.
- 3In one plain-language prompt, ask Notis to fetch the binary content of an Aryn document when its docset and document IDs are provided.
- 4Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real request and a document whose IDs you can verify.
