Find the right Slack channel for Chameleon engagement updates
Use context from a Chameleon signal to search Slack channels, helping the team bring an adoption update to the right conversation.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find channels
Find channels in a slack workspace by any criteria - name, topic, purpose, or description.
Why this helps
When channel names and purposes are easy to forget, routing an adoption update can take several searches and interruptions.
- Search channel descriptions using context from the signal.
- Reduce time spent guessing where an update belongs.
- Help keep adoption discussions in relevant existing channels.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Chameleon and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis by naming it and describing the channel search outcome.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis what signal context to use when finding Slack channels by name, topic, purpose, or description.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and configure Chameleon to send the relevant signal to its webhook URL.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real signal and confirm the returned channels are relevant.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow post an update to the channel it finds?
No. The selected action finds Slack channels by criteria. It does not send a message or invite members.
What channel information can the action search?
The available action searches channels by name, topic, purpose, or description. The incoming Chameleon signal should provide useful terms for that search.
