Trigger

Action

Get Transformations

Tool to list all transformations (named and unnamed). use when you need to retrieve transformation definitions or paginate through transformation records.

Why this helps

A simple transformation question can turn into a distracting search through asset settings.

  • Quickly reference configured transformations.
  • Reduce repeated lookup work for common image requests.
  • Help teammates choose an existing transformation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Cloudinary to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation instructing Notis to retrieve Cloudinary transformations when they are requested in Slack.
  • 3Pick Channel Message Received and choose a run-report channel.
  • 4Test with a request for a transformation your environment already uses.

Questions about this workflow

Does this generate a transformed image?

No. It retrieves transformation definitions; it does not create a derived asset.

Can it show named and unnamed transformations?

The Cloudinary action can list both named and unnamed transformations.
