Prepare a list when a customer cohort begins
When a new Slack channel marks the start of a named customer cohort, create a matching Engage list for organizing that group.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Create List
Tool to create a new List in Engage for organizing subscribers. Use when you need to set up a new list for managing contacts or subscribers.
Why this helps
A newly formed cohort can be ready for communication before its Engage list has been set up.
- Reduce repetitive cohort setup work
- Create an organizing place close to launch
- Keep list naming aligned with the announced cohort
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Engage to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create a list only when a new channel clearly names an intentional customer cohort.
- 3Choose the Slack new channel trigger and set the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one suitable new cohort channel and review the Engage list before using it.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new Slack channel create a list?
No. The prompt should limit list creation to channels that clearly announce a customer cohort.
Will customers be subscribed automatically?
No. This action creates a list only; subscribers are not added.
