Keep useful DM images from getting lost
When someone sends a useful image in a DM, Notis can create a hosted link while the context is fresh.
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
A visual sent privately can disappear from attention before it is saved somewhere reusable.
- Capture useful visuals from direct conversations.
- Create a link while the request is still in view.
- Spend less time revisiting old DMs.

- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to host images in founder DMs that match your stated criteria.
- 3Select Direct Message Received and specify which messages matter in the instruction.
- 4Choose a reporting channel and test with one representative DM image.
