A webhook that turns into a FreshBooks project post in Slack
When your own tool or backend fires an HTTP request, Notis fetches your FreshBooks projects and drops them into Slack. It is the simplest way to wire a custom trigger into your billing data.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Projects
Tool to list all projects for a business. use after confirming the business id.
Why this helps
Getting a homegrown tool to surface billing data usually means writing and maintaining brittle integration code.
- Let any tool or script pull FreshBooks projects on demand
- Skip building and maintaining your own integration code
- Keep the resulting project list flowing into Slack
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and FreshBooks to Notis once from the portal.
- 2In the portal, open Automations and choose New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome: when my webhook fires, list my FreshBooks projects and post them to Slack.
- 4Select the incoming webhook trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Send a test request to the webhook to confirm the flow works end to end.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need to write integration code?
No. Your tool just sends an HTTP request and Notis handles fetching and posting from the plain-language prompt.
What can send the webhook?
Anything that can make an HTTP request, including your own backend, a script, or another app.
