Give cross-team work a shared folder starting point
Make it easier for two teams to agree where a shared deliverable belongs by surfacing candidate folder paths.
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
List Folders
Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve folders under a parent with pagination.
Why this helps
Cross-team work can fragment when each group assumes the other knows where shared materials live.
- Surfaces existing shared-folder candidates before duplicates appear.
- Makes the location question visible to both teams.
- Leaves access and destination choices with the responsible people.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Files.com to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language to find shared Files.com folders when a Slack channel asks about a cross-team deliverable.
- 3Write one instruction to use the project context, list candidate folders, and report their paths for the teams to confirm.
- 4Select the channel message trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with a real cross-team location request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this grant the other team access?
No. It lists folders only. Use a separate human review for access decisions.
What if the project has no shared folder yet?
The workflow can report that no suitable existing match was found for a person to decide the next step.
