Create Discord roles from approved requests
Turn approved access decisions into a consistent server structure.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Create role with guild id
Creates a new role in a discord guild with customizable name, permissions, color, hoist, mentionability, and icon; `icon` (custom image hash) and `unicode emoji` (standard emoji) are mutually exclusive.
Why this helps
Permission changes stall because role creation is a separate manual task.
- Speed up approved access changes
- Use consistent role names
- Keep approval context available
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Discordbot in Notis once.
- 2Create an approved access automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create a role only when the email explicitly approves it, using the requested name and documented permission intent.
- 4Pick New Outlook Message as the trigger and choose a private Discord report channel.
- 5Test it with one approved request.
Questions about this workflow
