Handle image optimization requests from Slack DMs
Let an incoming direct message become a clear optimization follow-through instead of another item to remember.
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
Optimize Image by URL
Tool to optimize an image from a public url. use when you need to compress, resize, or convert an externally hosted image. returns result immediately if 'wait' is true.
Why this helps
One-to-one requests can disappear beneath other conversations and interrupt focused work.
- Respond to an image request without manually starting another tool.
- Reduce the chance of losing a direct-message task.
- Keep the result connected to the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Kraken.io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to optimize a public image URL when a Slack DM asks for image compression and return the result.
- 4Choose the Slack direct message received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by sending a DM with one public image URL and a clear request.
Questions about this workflow
Will it react to every DM?
