Why this helps
A channel's key setup guidance can be overlooked when it is buried in an image among early messages.
- Make visible channel guidance easier to scan.
- Help members find the words behind a process image.
- Reduce repeated questions about a posted guide.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Astica ai to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for one in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to use Astica ai OCR on setup guide images posted in a newly created channel and report the extracted text with context.
- 4Choose New Channel Created as the trigger and select where Notis reports runs.
- 5Test by creating a test channel and sharing one setup guide image.
Questions about this workflow
Does channel creation include a guide image?
No. This trigger starts on channel creation; the instruction should focus on a relevant guide image shared afterward.
Will OCR explain the process?
Astica ai extracts visible text. It does not interpret or validate the procedure.
