Why this helps
A promising kickoff can get buried in chat before anyone sets up the workspace needed to plan it.
- Creates a dedicated mapping workspace while the initiative is fresh.
- Reduces the mental overhead of remembering setup after a busy discussion.
- Keeps the project's starting context attached to its new home.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Felt to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to start a Felt project when a Slack kickoff is posted.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction describing how to recognize a project kickoff and name its Felt project.
- 4Pick the Slack channel-message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test it with one real kickoff message and review the created project.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis create a Felt project for every Slack message?
No. The prompt should describe the kickoff messages that represent a real project, so routine discussion does not create projects.
Can I start this by asking Notis?
Yes. Ask Notis to create a Felt project from qualifying Slack kickoff messages, then select the Slack trigger and reporting channel.
