Check a page's indexing status from Slack
A page that looks missing or broken in search can be checked from the Slack thread where it was noticed.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Inspect URL
Inspects a url for indexing issues and status in google search console.
Why this helps
A page concern can get lost between the original Slack report and the separate steps needed to inspect indexing.
- Turn a page concern into a concrete indexing check.
- Keep the result connected to the original team discussion.
- Make it easier to follow up on URLs that need attention.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Search Console to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to inspect a URL when a Slack message explicitly requests an indexing check.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real Slack message containing a URL you are authorized to inspect.

Does a mention of any URL start an inspection?
