Turn Slack speed check requests into GTmetrix tests

Ask for a site check where the work is already happening. Notis can start the GTmetrix test from the Slack conversation.

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

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

Copying URLs into a separate testing tool can derail a task and leave the requested check unfinished.

  • Start a test without switching out of Slack to open GTmetrix.
  • Keep performance checks tied to the conversation that prompted them.
  • Reduce the chance that a quick site check gets forgotten.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and GTmetrix to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally for a Slack-triggered GTmetrix speed check.
  • 3In one plain-language instruction, say which Slack requests should start a test and which site to test.
  • 4Select Channel Message Received as the trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one real request.

Questions about this workflow

Will every Slack message start a test?

Describe in the instruction which messages count as a request. Notis interprets that instruction when handling the selected Slack trigger.

Can the test use a specific GTmetrix location or browser?

Include the testing preference in the instruction if it matters. GTmetrix test options depend on the connected account and available settings.
