Check recent Cutt.ly links from a status DM
A clear link-status request can cue a quick lookup, leaving less room for a DM to become an open-ended search task.
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
View Last Shortened URLs
This action retrieves a list of recently shortened urls from your cutt.ly account. it allows users to view their latest shortened links and their details. note: due to api limitations, this action may not return all historical urls. for complete history, please use the cutt.ly dashboard.
Why this helps
Small status requests can interrupt focused work when answering means opening another tool and retracing link history.
- Turns a clear request into a focused lookup.
- Keeps a concise response easier to prepare.
- Reduces time spent retracing where a URL was created.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Cutt.ly to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to retrieve recent Cutt.ly URLs when a DM asks for short-link status and prepare a concise summary.
- 4Choose the Slack direct-message trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real status DM and verify the response content.
