Reduce repetitive group setup at project kickoff
When a channel kickoff contains a clear group name and approved membership, Notis can create the matching Egnyte group.
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 Group
Tool to create a new group with display name and members. Use when you need to add a new group to the Egnyte domain. SCIM-compliant.
Why this helps
Project setup can stall while someone manually recreates the agreed team group in file storage.
- Carry a clear kickoff decision into the file workspace.
- Reduce repetitive admin during project startup.
- Keep group creation tied to an explicit approval in the conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Egnyte to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to create approved project groups.
- 3Write one instruction covering approval, group naming, membership confidence, and handling of missing details.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with an approved sample kickoff and verify the group details.
Questions about this workflow
Will it add people when membership is uncertain?
Instruct Notis to skip group creation and report incomplete or ambiguous membership.
Does group creation grant access to files automatically?
Group creation alone does not assign folder permissions. Define any separate access process explicitly.
