Start a new sports channel with fixture context
When a sports channel is created, Notis can retrieve fixtures relevant to its stated teams or competition.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Get Fixtures
Tool to retrieve football fixtures/matches. use when filtering fixtures by id, date, league, season, team, or date ranges to get upcoming or past matches.
Why this helps
New channels often start without the basic schedule context that helps people coordinate around matches.
- Add schedule research to the creation of a sports-focused channel.
- Reduce manual searching when a new match discussion starts.
- Help members begin with relevant fixture context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Api sports to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to retrieve relevant fixtures when a new channel is created for a named team or competition.
- 3Choose New Channel Created as the trigger and set where Notis should report runs.
- 4Test by creating a real channel with clear team or competition context.
Questions about this workflow
Does channel creation always reveal the teams?
No. Give the channel a useful name or description, or have Notis ask for context when the relevant teams or competition are unclear.
Can this retrieve fixtures over a date range?
Yes. The fixture action supports dates and date ranges among its filters.
