Agent mail File Reference in Slack
Put the exact file reference beside the conversation that needs it.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.
Why this helps
A useful file link can remain buried in a message, while teammates search for a copy that was never actually shared in Slack.
- Create a discoverable pointer without duplicating the file
- Require an exact external ID and accessible URL
- Keep authorization and destination scope explicit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack.
- 2Tell Notis to add a remote-file reference only when the message supplies the authorized external ID and Slack-accessible URL.
- 3Select New Email Received and choose the Slack run-report channel.
- 4Test with one approved file reference and verify the Slack item.
Questions about this workflow
Does this upload or copy the file?
No. It adds a reference to the supplied external file; file permissions remain with the external service.
What if the email has only an attachment name?
The workflow flags the missing URL or ID and does not invent a remote-file reference.
