Find the right ImageKit asset from a Slack request
Ask for an image in the project channel and let Notis search the ImageKit library for likely matches.
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
List and Search Assets
Tool to list and search assets in your ImageKit account. Use when you want to retrieve or filter media library assets by criteria such as name, tags, folder path, or advanced queries.
Why this helps
Finding a previously uploaded image can turn a simple Slack question into a distracting search across folders and tabs.
- Searches ImageKit based on the request's words or context.
- Keeps the asset hunt connected to the conversation where the need came up.
- Reduces repeated searches for media that already exists.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and ImageKit io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search ImageKit when a channel message requests an existing asset and report useful matches.
- 4Choose the channel-message-received Slack trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real request for a known asset.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow upload a new image?
No. It searches existing ImageKit assets and reports matches.
Can the search use details from the message?
Describe in the instruction what terms or context Notis should use when searching.
