Get notified in Slack when a new digital asset is uploaded

Checks your asset library on a schedule and pings Slack the moment a brand-new file shows up.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats schedule triggers next check.

The problem it solves

You or your team have to keep checking the asset library to see if anything new has been uploaded. Important new files get missed, or people find out about them days later when someone else mentions it.

Who it fits

Creative or marketing teams managing a shared library of brand assets.

How it works

  1. A schedule checks the asset library every few minutes
  2. New assets are compared against a list of ones already seen
  3. Any brand-new upload triggers a Slack message
  4. The asset is recorded so it never gets flagged twice
What you get

New uploads you hear about instantly

You get an instant Slack ping the moment a new brand asset is uploaded to your library.

What you get

A Slack notification for every new asset added to the library.

What you need

An Air account and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
