Trigger
Direct Message Received

Action
Convert HTML to PDF
Tool to convert HTML to a PDF document. Use when you need to generate a PDF from raw HTML. Returns raw PDF bytes suitable for download or storage.
Why this helps
A founder has to switch from conversation to document formatting just to share a client update.
- Skip repetitive document layout work.
- Keep the update content grounded in the original DM.
- Create a draft that can be reviewed before sharing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Customjs to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Instruct Notis to create a polished PDF draft only when a DM contains a client update intended for sharing.
- 4Choose the Slack direct message trigger and where to receive run reports.
- 5Test with one suitable update and review the draft before sending it.
Questions about this workflow
Will the document be sent to the client?
No. This workflow creates a PDF draft; sharing it is a separate step.
Should I include private notes?
Use an instruction that includes only material intended for the client, and review the generated draft before sharing.
