Give a new project channel a useful starting map
Start a project channel with a map of its key site or documentation URLs, so the team has a quicker path to the information it needs.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Map multiple URLs
Maps a website by discovering urls from a starting base url, with options to customize the crawl via search query, subdomain inclusion, sitemap handling, and result limits; search effectiveness is site-dependent.
Why this helps
New project channels often start with scattered links and no clear route into the material.
- Discover relevant URLs for a project site.
- Give the channel a useful research starting point.
- Reduce repeated searching for project resources.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Firecrawl to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or describe it to Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to map the project URL shared for a newly created channel and return useful pages.
- 4Select the new Slack channel trigger and a report channel, then test with a new project channel and real URL.
Questions about this workflow
How will it know the project website?
Explain in the instruction where the project URL is expected to appear, such as the channel's setup message.
Can it map documentation as well as the main site?
Yes, if the URL shared for the project points to its documentation site.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Firecrawl. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Firecrawl actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Cancel a crawl job
Cancels an active or queued web crawl job using its id; attempting to cancel completed, failed, or previously canceled jobs will not change their state.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Start a web crawl
Initiates a firecrawl web crawl from a given url, applying various filtering and content extraction rules, and polls until the job is complete; ensure the url is accessible and any regex patterns for paths are valid.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Extract structured data
Extracts structured data from web pages by initiating an extraction job and polling for completion; requires a natural language `prompt` or a json `schema` (one must be provided).
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Get the status of a crawl job
Retrieves the current status, progress, and details of a web crawl job, using the job id obtained when the crawl was initiated.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Map multiple URLs
Maps a website by discovering urls from a starting base url, with options to customize the crawl via search query, subdomain inclusion, sitemap handling, and result limits; search effectiveness is site-dependent.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Scrape URL
Scrapes a publicly accessible url, optionally performing pre-scrape browser actions or extracting structured json using an llm, to retrieve content in specified formats.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Search
Performs a web search for a query, scrapes content from the top search results using firecrawl, and returns details in specified formats.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
