Give a new workstream its own Slack space
A new list can signal a new initiative. Give collaborators a shared place to discuss it from the start.
Trigger
New Task List Created
Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected.
Action
Create a channel-based conversation
Creates a new public or private slack channel with a unique name; the channel can be org-wide, or team-specific if `team id` is given (required if `org wide` is false or not provided).
Why this helps
New workstreams often begin in a task list with no obvious shared place for coordination.
- Start a conversation space alongside a new workstream.
- Reduce setup steps when a project begins.
- Give collaborators one place to coordinate.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a suitable Slack channel when a new task list is added, following your naming and privacy preferences.
- 4Choose New Task List Created as the trigger and set the channel for run reports.
- 5Create a test list and verify the channel name and visibility.
Questions about this workflow
Can the channel be private?
State the desired channel privacy in the instruction and verify the result with a test list.
Will a Slack channel be created for every new list?
The trigger detects new task lists. Describe any exceptions in the prompt if not every list should start a channel.
