Prepare sharper images for modern screens
When a team calls for a sharper asset, let the Slack request start an Imgix rendition tuned for the intended display density.
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
Set Device Pixel Ratio
Tool to set device pixel ratio for an Imgix image. Use when rendering at specific display densities to ensure correct sharpness. Example: 'dpr=2&w=500&h=300' doubles resolution relative to dimensions.
Why this helps
Images that look soft on high-density screens trigger avoidable troubleshooting and repeat exports.
- Address display sharpness in the image handoff.
- Reduce repeat exports to fix soft-looking assets.
- Keep rendition intent with the original request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Imgix to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation through Automations or by asking Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction describing high-density display requests and the desired Imgix pixel ratio.
- 4Choose the Slack channel-message trigger, select the run-report channel, and test with one real image request.
Questions about this workflow
Can I ask for a particular pixel ratio?
Include the desired density in your plain-language instruction.
Does this resize the image too?
Describe the intended dimensions and density in the prompt so Imgix can prepare the rendition.

New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Imgix Blend Align
Tool to align the overlay relative to the base image when blending. Use after constructing a base Imgix URL to specify horizontal and vertical alignment (e.g., 'left,top').
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Blend Color Over Image
Tool to blend a solid color over an image using CSS keyword or hex. Use when you need to apply color overlay transformations to an existing image URL.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Imgix Blend X Position
Tool to position the overlay horizontally on an Imgix-rendered image. Use when you need to offset the blend layer by a specified number of pixels from the left edge.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Draw Image Border
Tool to draw a border around an image. Use when you need to overlay a border without resizing.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Adjust Image Brightness
Tool to adjust image brightness. Use when you need to modify an image's brightness level (−100 to 100) by supplying your source domain and asset path.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
IMGIX_CH
Tool to opt in to Client Hints. Use when you want Imgix URLs to adapt based on browser headers (Width, DPR, Save-Data).
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
