Why this helps
New initiatives often start in Slack but lack a clear place to collect information, leaving setup to be remembered later.
- Create an organizational home as soon as a channel appears.
- Reduce the setup tasks that compete with focused work.
- Keep initiative intake grouped in Basin.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Basin to Notis once through the portal.
- 2In Automations, create an automation and describe creating a Basin project for each new Slack channel.
- 3Select the Slack New Channel Created trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 4Test by creating a real channel for an initiative and checking the Basin project.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Basin form too?
No. This workflow creates a Basin project. You can create forms separately when you know what information the initiative needs.
Do I need to map the channel name?
No. Describe the desired outcome in the plain-language automation prompt; there is no field-mapping screen.
