Bring project teammates into the right Slack channel
When a Basecamp project setup request comes in, have Notis invite the specified teammates to the related Slack channel.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Invite users to a Slack channel
Invites users to an existing slack channel using their valid slack user ids.
Why this helps
New project members can miss important Slack context while someone tracks down the right channel and sends invites.
- Reduce manual channel onboarding
- Help teammates find relevant project discussion sooner
- Use the channel and people named in the setup request
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis: When a project setup webhook arrives, invite the supplied Slack user IDs to the supplied existing Slack channel.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project setup request.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer Slack user IDs from names?
The invite action requires valid Slack user IDs. Include those IDs in the webhook request or provide a reliable way for Notis to obtain them.
Does this create the Slack channel too?
No. This workflow invites users to an existing channel. Create the channel separately or use a separate automation for channel creation.
