Add an approved background to Intelliprint
Let Notis create an Intelliprint background after the team approves the prepared file in Slack.
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
Create background
Tool to create a new Background. Use when you have a background file (and optional name or team) to upload.
Why this helps
An approved design can remain buried in chat or storage until someone remembers to upload it to the printing tool.
- Move an approved asset into the print workspace promptly.
- Keep the approval near the file handoff.
- Reduce the chance of rediscovering the same upload task later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Intelliprint to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a background only when a prepared file is clearly approved for use.
- 4Choose Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one approved background file.
Questions about this workflow
Does this design the background?
No. The file must already be prepared and accessible; the action creates the background record from that file.
Can the background be assigned to a team?
The create action supports an optional team. Describe the intended destination in the instruction.
