New Folder? Team Joins Automatically.

A new 'Client Onboarding' folder was created in ClickUp. Notis invites the onboarding team to #client-onboarding in Slack. They don't have to hunt for the channel.

Trigger

Folder Created

Triggers when a new Folder is created.

Action

Invite users to a Slack channel

Invites users to an existing slack channel using their valid slack user ids.

Why this helps

New folders (and the work inside) are created in ClickUp but the relevant team doesn't know about the Slack channel, so they miss collaboration and visibility.

  • Teams automatically join channels for new work areas
  • No one gets left out of folder-based collaboration
  • Reduce manual channel invite admin
  • New organizational areas get immediate Slack presence

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ClickUp and Slack to Notis via the portal
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a new folder is created in ClickUp, invite the folder members to the corresponding Slack channel'
  • 3Map folder names/types to Slack channels (or use dynamic naming)
  • 4Select 'Folder Created' as the trigger
  • 5Create a test folder with team members and verify Slack invites

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know who belongs to a folder?

You specify the rule: 'invite all folder members', 'invite users with manager role in this folder', etc.

What if the Slack channel doesn't exist yet?

Notis can create it automatically, or you can create it manually first. Your automation handles both.

Can we use this for nested folders?

Yes. Nested folders can map to nested channels or use naming conventions (e.g., channel-name-subname).
