Check an Instagram draft's processing status
When a draft's status is the blocker, ask in Slack and let Notis check its Instagram processing state.
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
Get Post Status
Check the processing status of a draft post container.
Why this helps
It is hard to know whether a draft is ready when its status check gets separated from the team's publishing conversation.
- Makes a draft status check part of the existing team conversation.
- Helps avoid repeated manual checks while preparing a post.
- Clarifies whether a draft needs more time or another step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in plain language to check the processing status of the Instagram draft referenced in a Slack message.
- 3Choose the Slack channel-message trigger, set where run reports go, and test with one real draft reference.
