Give important company reviews a shared Slack home
Create a dedicated place for teammates to discuss a company when a review calls for focused collaboration.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Why this helps
Company-specific research can become scattered across unrelated Slack conversations.
- Give a substantial review a dedicated discussion space.
- Keep company research and follow-up conversation together.
- Reduce scattered context across general channels.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Akta and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Slack channel for a company review only when the request identifies a clear need, and use a concise company-based name.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Akta example and confirm the channel name is appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a channel for every company?
No. State in the instruction what qualifies as a focused review that needs its own channel.
Can the automation invite people too?
This workflow uses the listed channel creation action only. Inviting users would require a separate action and valid Slack user IDs.
