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
Scrape webpage content using CSS selectors
A tool to extract structured content from a webpage by specifying css selectors. the tool navigates to the specified url, waits for the page to load (including parsing and executing javascript), and returns the selected elements in a structured json format.
Why this helps
Interesting links pile up in Slack, making it hard to find time to open and assess them later.
- Review the important page sections with less context switching.
- Keep research links tied to the conversation that surfaced them.
- Spend attention on relevant details instead of page navigation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Browserless to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: extract the main headings and useful points from webpages linked in a chosen Slack channel, then report the results with the original link.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real research link posted in that channel.
Questions about this workflow

Describe the channel or link context in the automation prompt so Notis knows which shared links to process.
What does Browserless return?
