Upload approved Slack DM assets to Cincopa
A quick approval message can start the media upload automatically.
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
Upload Asset From URL
Tool to upload a new asset directly from a provided external url and receive a status id for tracking. use when you need to import media from a remote source and optionally specify a gallery or existing asset.
Why this helps
Final approval often sits in a DM and never reaches the person responsible for publishing assets.
- Acts on explicit approval messages
- Keeps the upload tied to the approval context
- Returns a status id for tracking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Cincopa in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named approved asset uploader.
- 3Describe that Notis should find an approved media URL in each new Slack DM and upload it to Cincopa.
- 4Select Slackbot Direct Message Received as the trigger and set the run report destination.
- 5Send one real approval DM with a media URL to test.
