Move approved tracking proposals into Amplitude
When the team settles on a tracking event in Slack, create its event type in Amplitude so the proposal has a concrete next step.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Create Amplitude Event Type
Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration
Why this helps
Tracking proposals can stall between team agreement and analytics setup.
- Turn clear agreements into tangible tracking-plan progress.
- Preserve the proposed event's purpose and context in Amplitude.
- Reduce the gap between discussion and implementation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Amplitude to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to create an Amplitude event type when a channel message clearly marks an event proposal as approved.
- 3Choose Slack Channel Message Received and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real approved tracking proposal, then review the created event type in Amplitude.
Questions about this workflow
Should every proposed event be created?
The instruction should require a clear approval signal so early ideas are not treated as decisions.
Can the event include a description?
The Amplitude action supports event metadata such as description, category, tags, and owner.
