Compare several sources from one Slack request
Bring multiple pages into one focused question so you can see their differences without managing a pile of open tabs.
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
AI Perform Web Task
Ai automation: complex workflows only. when to use: 10+ manual steps | dynamic/unpredictable content when to avoid: simple clicks | forms | navigation | payments strategy: try once → if fails, switch to manual immediately success rate: 40% - always have manual backup ready
Why this helps
Comparing several sources takes sustained attention and is easy to postpone when the request gets mixed into a busy thread.
- Compare related pages against one clear question.
- Keep source references alongside the findings.
- Reduce the overhead of opening and tracking multiple tabs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Browser tool to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to use the research question and links in the thread for a concise comparison with source references.
- 4Choose the Slack channel-message trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a small set of public links and a specific comparison question.
Questions about this workflow
When is the AI web task action a good fit?
Use it for a multi-step comparison across dynamic pages; a simple single-page check can use a page-fetch action.
Will it always find enough evidence?
No. Ask Notis to say when a page is inaccessible or does not support a finding.
