Turn a direct image request into a downloadable asset
Let a direct request trigger an Imgix image rendition that is easy to download and recognize later.
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
IMGIX_DL
Tool to force asset download. Use when you need to download an Imgix asset with a specific filename.
Why this helps
One-off image requests in DMs are easy to forget or leave without a clear deliverable.
- Give a one-off image request a concrete next step.
- Reduce the chance of a small DM deliverable slipping away.
- Make the resulting asset easier to identify.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Imgix to Notis once.
- 2Ask Notis to create a DM image workflow or use Automations and New Automation.
- 3Describe the image request and desired download filename behavior in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Choose the Slack direct-message trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with one real image request.
