Handle one-to-one asset lookups without a search detour
Let Notis retrieve an asset when someone sends its Cloudinary ID in a direct message.
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
Get Resource by Asset ID
Get resource by asset id
Why this helps
Small private requests can still create a context switch and a manual lookup task.
- Handle quick asset checks from a direct request.
- Reduce time spent switching tools for one-off lookups.
- Make it easier to follow through on private media questions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Cloudinary to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal instructing Notis to retrieve Cloudinary details for asset IDs shared in direct messages.
- 3Choose Direct Message Received and select where run reports should appear.
- 4Test with a real DM containing a Cloudinary asset ID.
