Trigger
New Coda Document Trigger
Triggers when a new Coda document is created.
Action
Find users
Find users in a slack workspace by any criteria - email, name, display name, or other text. includes optimized email lookup for exact email matches.
Why this helps
New Coda documents create uncertainty about who should be informed—team members don't know if they're needed or excluded, leading to either over-communication or missed stakeholders.
- Eliminates guessing about who should be involved in new work
- Surfaces the right stakeholders without manual searching
- Reduces coordination overhead by proactively identifying collaborators
- Helps neurodivergent founders avoid the paralysis of 'should I include this person?'
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create automation: 'Find team members for new Coda docs.'
- 3Write your prompt: 'When a new Coda document is created with a topic or title, search Slack for team members whose names, roles, or expertise match the document topic and report them.'
- 4Select 'New Coda Document' as the trigger.
- 5Test by creating a new Coda document and check the Slack notification for the list of suggested team members.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which team members match a document topic?
You define the matching criteria in your prompt: 'look for people with 'design' in their role,' or 'find people in the #marketing channel,' etc.
Can I exclude certain people or departments?
Yes. Mention exclusions in your prompt: 'find team members except contractors' or 'exclude the #operations channel.'
What if the suggested team members are wrong?
You can refine the matching logic in your automation prompt to be more specific about who counts as relevant.
