Pull color references from the image conversation

Give a shared brand image a useful next step: extract its palette and make color exploration quicker for the team.

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

IMGIX_PALETTE

Tool to extract a color palette from an image in CSS or JSON form. Use when you need to analyze an image's dominant colors after any transformations.

Why this helps

Manually sampling colors adds busywork and scatters useful visual references across tools.

  • Avoid manually sampling colors from every reference.
  • Keep color exploration close to the source image.
  • Make creative handoffs faster and more consistent.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Imgix to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3Describe which brand reference images should have palettes extracted and the output format you want.
  • 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one real reference image.

Questions about this workflow

Can palette extraction be limited to brand references?

Describe the brand-reference context in the prompt and use the relevant Slack message trigger.

Can I request a particular palette format?

Yes. State the preferred palette output in the instruction.
