Why this helps
Internal initiatives often start informally, which makes their work harder to account for later.
- Give initiative work a dedicated project context.
- Make time spent on internal work easier to identify.
- Avoid creating a project from speculative discussion.

- 2Create an automation or tell Notis to create an Everhour project only when a channel message confirms a named internal initiative.
- 3Choose the Slack Channel Message Received trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should report automation runs.
- 5Test with one real announcement of an approved, named initiative.
