Turn a clear file move approval into action
Once a Slack message approves a specific relocation, Notis can move the referenced file in Backendless storage.
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
Move File
Tool to move a file or directory within backendless file storage. use when relocating resources to a new path after verifying source and destination.
Why this helps
Approved housekeeping can linger because moving files means leaving the discussion to find the right location.
- Connects a clear approval with file organization
- Reduces manual follow-through
- Keeps file moves tied to their discussion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Backendless to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation that moves a specified Backendless file only when a Slack message clearly approves the move and provides the needed destination.
- 3Choose Channel Message Received as the trigger, select a run-report channel, and test with one approved example and known paths.
Questions about this workflow
What details should the Slack message include?
The instruction should require enough information to identify the source and destination paths before moving a file.
Can a vague approval move a file?
Define the approval and required path details in the prompt so Notis can distinguish actionable requests.
