Turn a Slack DM into a page performance test
When a page concern arrives privately, Notis can turn the request into a GTmetrix test so it does not remain buried in your inbox.
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
Start Test
Tool to start a new GTmetrix test for a specified URL. Use when you need to analyze website performance with configurable options like location, browser, and throttling.
Why this helps
Useful requests in DMs are easy to forget once the conversation moves on.
- Convert a direct request into a concrete test.
- Avoid reopening DM threads to recover a URL later.
- Keep ad hoc performance checks moving with less context switching.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and GTmetrix to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis for a DM-triggered page test.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction describing which DMs are test requests and what URL to test.
- 4Select Direct Message Received, choose a run-report channel, and try one real page request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger include channel messages?
No. Direct Message Received is for DMs. Use the channel-message trigger for requests posted in channels.
What if the DM does not include a URL?
Tell Notis in the instruction how to identify the intended page from the available conversation context, or have the requester include it.
