Keep the Cats portal directory handy as new work starts
Create a Cats-related Slack channel and have Notis fetch the available portal list, so the team can find its Cats workspace context without another manual lookup.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Get Portals
Tool to list all portals. use when you need to browse portal metadata with pagination after authentication.
Why this helps
Starting a new initiative can scatter setup details across channels and tools, making it easy to forget where Cats portal information lives.
- Surfaces the available Cats portals when a related channel is created.
- Avoids a separate manual portal-directory lookup.
- Keeps the automation result in a consistent reporting channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Cats to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, give it a clear name, and write a prompt asking Notis to list Cats portals when a new channel is created for a Cats-related initiative and report the results.
- 3Select the Slack New Channel Created trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should report automation runs.
- 5Create a test channel for a Cats-related initiative and check the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a Cats portal for the new Slack channel?
No. The available Cats action only lists portal metadata; it does not create or change portals.
Can it tell which portal matches the new Slack channel?
The action retrieves the portal directory. Ask Notis in the prompt to summarize the returned portal information, but do not assume it can update Slack or Cats.
