Start document channels with template awareness
When a dedicated channel appears, review the available templates before the process takes shape.
Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action
List PDF Templates
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of PDF templates. Use when you need to browse available templates before generating a PDF.
Why this helps
Teams can build a new document process without first knowing which templates they already have.
- Make existing templates visible at process setup time.
- Reduce duplicate template creation.
- Give the team a clearer starting point for document planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Craftmypdf to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the available Craftmypdf templates when a new channel is created for a document process.
- 4Select the Slack new channel created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating one real document-focused channel and review the retrieved templates.
Questions about this workflow
Will it know why the channel was created?
Only if the channel name or available event context makes the purpose clear; instruct Notis to skip unrelated channels.
Does it create or edit a template?
No. The action lists available templates for review.
