Notis

Handle urgent Bunnycdn refresh requests from Slack DMs

Send Notis a direct request with the URL and refresh intent, and let it take care of the targeted cache purge.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

Purge URL

Tool to purge a specific url from the bunnycdn cache. use when you need to invalidate a resource immediately after updating it.

Why this helps

A time-sensitive CDN request in a DM can get lost among other conversations or rely on someone's memory.

  • Provides a lightweight path for urgent targeted refresh requests.
  • Keeps the purge scope to the URL named in the DM.
  • Avoids switching tools to perform a routine invalidation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Bunnycdn to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, or ask Notis for a DM-based workflow.
  • 3Write one instruction that purges a Bunnycdn URL only when a DM clearly requests an urgent refresh and includes the URL.
  • 4Select the direct message trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
  • 5Test by sending a clearly labeled request for a safe test URL.

Questions about this workflow

Does this match channel messages too?

No. This workflow uses the direct message trigger, which is distinct from channel messages.

How do I avoid unintended purges?

Make the instruction require both an explicit refresh request and a specific Bunnycdn URL.
