Questions about this workflow
Does channel creation require an initial message?
The listed action creates or retrieves a channel and publishes an empty initialization message to create or activate it.
Can this workflow initialize a different channel for every project automatically?
Only if the channel name for each run is supplied or otherwise available to Notis. Do not rely on missing project identifiers.
