Turn a folder request in Slack into a Docupilot folder
When someone asks for a document folder in a project channel, Notis can take care of the setup and report back where it was created.
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
Create Docupilot Folder
Tool to create a new folder. use when organizing documents into custom workspace folders after confirming workspace context.
Why this helps
Requests made in busy channels can disappear under newer messages, leaving someone to remember and complete the setup later.
- Captures explicit folder requests where the team already discusses work.
- Uses the request context to choose a recognizable folder name.
- Lets the requester know the setup has been handled.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Docupilot to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to create a Docupilot folder only when a channel message clearly requests one, using the requested name.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real, clearly worded folder request in a channel.
Questions about this workflow
Will every message create a folder?
The instruction should tell Notis to act only on explicit folder requests, so ordinary discussion does not trigger folder creation.
Can the request include a preferred folder name?
Yes. Ask Notis in the instruction to use the name stated in the request when it is clear.
