Give new Slack channels an AlgoDocs folder reference
Start each new project channel with a useful view of the existing document folders.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
List folders
Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve all folder IDs and their hierarchy. Must be called after obtaining an API key.
Why this helps
New channels often begin without context on where related documents are stored, creating follow-up questions later.
- Surfaces existing folder structure during channel setup.
- Helps channel owners make an informed storage choice.
- Cuts down on repeated folder questions as work starts.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and AlgoDocs to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to set one up.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to retrieve the AlgoDocs folder hierarchy when a new Slack channel is created and share it as a reference.
- 4Choose the new channel created trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating a real Slack channel for a project or workstream.
