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
Bulk Run Tasks
This action allows users to bulk run up to 50,000 tasks using a specified robot. it provides a post endpoint at /v2/robots/{robotid}/bulk-tasks and supports parameters such as robot id (required), title (required), and input parameters (required). this bulk operation is essential for large-scale data extraction.
Why this helps
Launching repeated page captures one by one is tedious and makes large research batches harder to complete.
- Initiate a large batch from a team request.
- Reduce repetitive one-at-a-time task starts.
- Keep bulk research aligned with the original request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Browse AI to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction for recognizing a batch request and starting a Browse AI bulk run with the appropriate robot and inputs.
- 4Select Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a small, real batch request supported by the selected robot.

Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Delete a specific monitor
This tool allows users to delete a specific monitor from their browse ai account. it uses the delete method and requires a valid monitor id.
