Team event email arrives. Notis posts it to Slack so everyone sees it.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Important team events are announced in email, but people miss them. Team bonding suffers because half the team didn't know.
- Team events are visible in Slack where people already check throughout the day
- No one can say they didn't see the announcement
- Multiple reminders in Slack increases attendance without being annoying
- Slack thread becomes a place for team questions and discussion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a team event email arrives, post it to the announcements Slack channel with the date, time, and location.'
- 3Set the trigger to New Email Received.
- 4Identify team event emails by keywords (event, announcement, meeting) or sender.
- 5Test by sending a team event email and verifying it posts to Slack.
Questions about this workflow
Can I extract event details automatically?
Yes. Notis can pull the date, time, location, and description from the email automatically.
Should I announce all team events or just big ones?
You define the threshold: all events, only off-site events, only all-hands meetings, etc.
Can I set up Slack reminders closer to the event date?
Yes. Use a separate automation to post a reminder a few days before.
