Keep content categories consistent by carrying a clear team decision from Slack to the relevant strings in Crowdin.
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
Assign Label to Strings
Tool to assign the specified label to provided string ids in a project. use after creating the label or verifying string ids to categorize content.
Why this helps
A categorization decision can be made in Slack but never applied to the strings it was meant to organize.
- Makes agreed content categories visible on relevant strings.
- Reduces manual label application after a discussion.
- Helps translators recognize the intended grouping.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Crowdin to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to apply Crowdin labels from Slack decisions.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to assign an existing label when a Slack message clearly identifies the project, label, and strings.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real categorization request and verify the label on the intended strings.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the label too?
No. The label must already exist in Crowdin. This action assigns that label to identified strings.
What details should the request include?
Include clear project context, the existing label, and enough information to identify the strings.
