Turn Slack DM image requests into hosted links
When someone sends an image and asks for a link, let Notis handle the upload and bring the URL back.
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
Upload Image to ImgBB
Tool to upload an image to ImgBB. Use when you need to host an image and get back its URLs immediately.
Why this helps
Private image requests are easy to forget while switching between conversations and upload tools.
- Catch image requests where they arrive.
- Return a ready-to-share link in the chosen reporting channel.
- Avoid reopening the request later to finish the upload.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and ImgBB to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to host images attached to DMs that request a shareable link.
- 3Choose Direct Message Received as the trigger and describe the qualifying request in the prompt.
- 4Pick a run-report channel and test with a real DM containing an image.
Questions about this workflow
Will a DM without an image be uploaded?
Instruct Notis to act only when the DM includes an image that is meant to be shared.
Can the result go back to the DM?
Choose a channel for run reports and ask Notis in the prompt to include the link in its report.
