Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Get Devices
Tool to retrieve a list of user's ambient weather devices with their most recent data. use when you need to list your stations and view their latest readings.
Why this helps
A newly formed project space may need weather context, but setting up every detail manually adds another opening task.
- Attach a timely station check to channel creation.
- Reduce the setup work for weather-sensitive projects.
- Make current conditions easier to surface at kickoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ambient Weather to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language which new channels should prompt a station check.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to use the new channel context and retrieve relevant current Ambient Weather readings.
- 4Choose the new channel created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real new channel for a weather-sensitive project.
Questions about this workflow
Does every new channel have to be weather-related?
The trigger fires when a channel is created. Describe the relevant channel context in the prompt so Notis can assess whether the station lookup is useful.
Can it post an automatic welcome message?
The specified Ambient Weather action retrieves device readings. It does not create or post Slack messages.
