Give a task a clear starting point by surfacing the spaces available for the team to consider.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
List spaces
Lists all spaces that the authenticated user has access to in contentful. this is a fundamental operation needed before performing any other content management actions since most operations require a space id.
Why this helps
Choosing a starting workspace can become a small but distracting decision that delays the actual work.
- Make available choices visible in one step.
- Help the requester make the workspace decision themselves.
- Keep the automation focused on discovery, not an unsupported automatic choice.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Contentful to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt to list accessible spaces when a channel message asks for workspace options for a task.
- 3Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with a real task request that needs a space shortlist.
