- 1Connect Slack and ActiveTrail to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or describe it to Notis conversationally.

- 4Choose New Channel Created and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating one appropriate campaign channel and checking the group.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new Slack channel create a group?
The prompt should limit this to channels that follow your campaign naming convention and are intended to have a matching audience group.
Does the group automatically include channel members?
No. The selected action creates a group; it does not add Slack members as ActiveTrail contacts.
