Why this helps
Newsletter ideas surface in team chat but rarely make it into the publishing workflow.
- Give ideas a clear next step beyond the chat thread.
- Start a draft while the rationale is easy to find.
- Keep editorial planning connected to team conversations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Curated to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create a Curated draft issue from messages in your chosen Slack channel that are marked as newsletter ideas.
- 3Select the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one clearly marked idea and review the resulting Curated draft.
Questions about this workflow
Will every channel message become an issue?
Describe the marker or wording that identifies an issue idea, and ask Notis to ignore other messages.
Do I need to provide a publication first?
Create Draft Issue requires a publication. Make sure the intended Curated publication is available before relying on this workflow.
