Give new project channels a documentation starting point
When a project gets a Slack home, make the repository's available wiki topics easier to find from the start.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Read wiki structure
Get a list of documentation topics for a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
Why this helps
New channels often begin without the documentation links people need to work independently.
- Surface available docs topics as a channel is created.
- Help project members find their own context sooner.
- Reduce repeated requests for basic repository pointers.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Devin MCP to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction asking Devin for wiki topics for the repository associated with a newly created channel.
- 4Choose the new Slack channel trigger and the channel where run reports should appear.
- 5Test by creating a project channel whose name or description identifies an accessible repository.
Questions about this workflow
How does the workflow identify the repository?
The prompt needs to make the repository clear from the new channel context.
Does it create or configure the Slack channel?
No. The trigger responds to a channel being created; the action reads repository wiki structure.
