- Speeds up file discovery during project conversations.
- Helps the team identify relevant files for the next step.
- Cuts down on repeated navigation through the Crowdin project.
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 retrieve Crowdin files from Slack questions.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to list files when a Slack message asks about project content and clearly identifies the Crowdin project.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real file question and check that the returned files match the project.
