Help collaborators orient to Contentful from Slack
A quick accessible-space list can help a new teammate find their bearings without requiring someone to stop and walk through the account.
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
Onboarding questions arrive while founders are focused elsewhere, and basic workspace orientation can take repeated effort.
- Provide a repeatable starting point for space discovery.
- Reduce repeated onboarding explanations.
- Help collaborators move toward the right content workspace.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Contentful to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one prompt to list accessible Contentful spaces when a channel message asks for workspace orientation.
- 3Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with a real onboarding question.
Questions about this workflow
Does the list explain what each space is for?
The action lists accessible spaces. Add known context to the prompt if you want Notis to explain distinctions that you provide.
Can this run from a DM instead?
Yes. Choose the Slack direct message trigger if onboarding questions typically arrive privately.
