Helpful resources shared in active channels can disappear beneath newer messages.
- Keep important references in one reviewable place.
- Reduce repeated searches for shared links.
- Preserve the context for why a resource mattered.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Slides once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what you need in plain language.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to add channel messages that share useful project resources, including the link and stated context, to a reference deck.
- 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real reference message and verify the saved details.
Questions about this workflow
Will every shared link be added?
Ask Notis to capture only resources relevant to the named project or topic.
Can it preserve why the link was shared?
Yes. The instruction can ask for the short context stated in the Slack message.
