Project Team User Group Creation
New project arrives. A Slack user group exists so you can @mention the team in one tag.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Create a Slack user group
Creates a new user group (often referred to as a subteam) in a slack workspace.
Why this helps
You're typing out individual team member names every time you post updates. It's tedious, and you always forget someone.
- Mention the entire project team with one @handle instead of typing five names
- User groups are automatically kept up-to-date as your team changes
- Permissions are easier to manage when you have defined groups
- Onboarding new team members is faster because groups already exist
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a project email arrives, create a Slack user group with the project name and add my core team.'
- 3Set the trigger to New Email Received.
- 4Define which team members join each group (or always include the same core team).
- 5Test by sending a project email and verifying the user group is created and members appear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I create different groups for different project types?
Yes. Create separate automations: one for design projects (design team), one for dev projects (engineering team), etc.
Can I manage group members after creation?
Absolutely. The automation creates the group, but you can add/remove members anytime in Slack.
What if a team member should be in multiple groups?
Slack allows members in unlimited groups, so they can be part of the entire team and project-specific groups.
