Why this helps
New projects often start with useful context scattered across an opening channel and no durable summary.
- Gives collaborators a shared project starting point.
- Captures the initial goal and constraints.
- Reduces repeated onboarding explanations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Carbone to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to prepare a kickoff brief when a new project channel receives its opening context.
- 3Describe the kickoff document in one plain-language instruction, including the goal and early next steps to capture.
- 4Select Channel Message Received and choose the run-report channel; use the prompt to limit it to project kickoff posts.
- 5Test with a kickoff message in a suitable project channel.
Questions about this workflow
Can a channel-created event provide the kickoff message?
A new channel event only signals channel creation. Use Channel Message Received for the opening context that the document needs.
Can the brief be generated from later discussion too?
Describe in the prompt which opening message or channel context should inform the brief.
