Find a Gamma generation's status from Slack
Ask Notis to check a Gamma generation using its identifier and return the status and available file links.
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
Get Gamma File URLs
Retrieve generation status and file urls. poll this endpoint every ~5 seconds until status is 'completed'. docs: https://developers.gamma.app/reference/get-gamma-file-urls
Why this helps
A deck generation can be easy to lose track of when its status lives outside the conversation where you requested it.
- Check whether a requested generation is complete
- Bring available file links into your follow-up
- Avoid switching tools to find the generation status
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gamma to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation called Gamma Generation Status Check.
- 3Add one plain-language instruction asking Notis to use the Gamma generation identifier included in the DM to retrieve the status and file URLs, checking again about every five seconds until completion.
- 4Choose the Slack direct message trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real Gamma generation identifier and confirm the returned status and links.
