Start a new Slack channel with an impact baseline
A new project or team channel can prompt a quick retrieval of the Ecologi impact totals for kickoff context.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Get User Impact
Tool to get a combination of all impact types a user has funded: trees, carbon avoidance, carbon removal, and habitat restoration, in a single request. Data refreshes every 10 minutes and no authentication is required.
Why this helps
New workspaces create setup chores, and useful context can be missed while people are getting organized.
- Attach a current impact snapshot to a new channel's setup moment.
- See all available impact categories together.
- Avoid adding a separate manual dashboard check to kickoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ecologi to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation through Automations or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the Ecologi combined impact total when a Slack channel is created and include it in the run report.
- 4Select New Channel Created and choose where run reports should appear.
- 5Test by creating a temporary Slack channel.
Questions about this workflow
Does it post directly into the new channel?
The automation prompt can ask Notis to summarize the result; run-report delivery is controlled by the channel selected when creating the automation.
Why use combined impact?
The combined action retrieves trees, carbon avoidance, carbon removal, and habitat restoration in one request.
