Finish dataset handoffs that arrive by DM

A direct request can trigger the upload step when the message includes everything the Dromo import needs.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Action

Upload File To Headless Import

Tool to upload a file to a headless import. use after obtaining a signed upload url from dromo. performs an http put of raw bytes to the provided signed url.

Why this helps

Data requests in DMs are easy to lose between conversation and the separate import workflow.

  • Keep a private data handoff attached to its request.
  • Reduce repeated manual transfer steps.
  • Make missing upload requirements visible in the run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Dromo to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis to upload a dataset shared in a DM to its specified Dromo import when the signed URL and raw file bytes are provided.
  • 3Select the Slack direct message trigger and choose the run-report channel.
  • 4Test with a sample DM and verify the Dromo import receives the file.

Questions about this workflow
