Move a finalized log-source grouping from a newly added planning slide into Better Stack.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
Action
Create Source Group
Tool to create a new source group. use when you have finalized the group name (and optional sort index) and need to organize related log sources under that group.
Why this helps
A source grouping can be agreed in a deck and still need a separate manual step before logs are organized.
- Turn a documented source group decision into a Better Stack group.
- Avoid retyping finalized group names from planning material.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Better Stack source group using the finalized name in the new slide, and only use a sort index if it is supplied.
- 4Pick the Google Slides New Slide Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real slide that clearly states the group name.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow add log sources to the group?
No. The listed action creates a source group; adding sources is outside this workflow.
What if the slide has no finalized name?
The prompt should ask Notis to report that the required name is missing rather than guess.
