Private requests to stop an upload can be handled immediately.

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

Abort Asset Upload From URL

Tool to abort an ongoing asset upload-in-progress by providing its status id. use when an upload is no longer needed, was initiated by mistake, or is taking too long.

Why this helps

Urgent cancellation requests get delayed when they must be forwarded to another operator.

  • Shortens response time for urgent stops
  • Keeps sensitive asset details private
  • Requires only a status id and clear intent

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Cincopa in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named DM upload cancellation.
  • 3Tell Notis to abort the Cincopa upload named by a status id when a new Slack DM contains an explicit cancellation request.
  • 4Pick Slackbot Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose the report destination.
  • 5Send one test DM with a real in progress status id.
