Keep donor updates pointed to the right Slack channel
Let Notis review donor records on a schedule and identify the Slack channels that fit the updates you need to share.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find channels
Find channels in a slack workspace by any criteria - name, topic, purpose, or description.
Why this helps
Donor records and team conversations live in separate places, making it easy to lose track of where follow-up belongs.
- Reduce time spent searching Slack for the right place to coordinate donor work.
- Surface channels that match the donor context or fundraising topic.
- Keep recurring review work out of your manual checklist.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackbaud and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe how Notis should review donor information and find relevant Slack channels in one instruction.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test the workflow with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow post donor details into Slack?
No. The available Slack action finds channels. Notis can identify likely destinations, but it does not publish a message with this workflow.
Can Notis choose channels based on donor context?
You can describe the context to consider in your instruction. Notis can only use information returned by Blackbaud and channel details available in Slack.
