Record new Slack project channels in Formdesk
A new channel often signals a new initiative. Notis can create a Formdesk entry so the launch has a simple record beyond the channel list.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Create Formdesk Entry
Tool to submit a new entry to a Formdesk form. Use after collecting all form field values to send a new entry for a specific formId. Example: "Submit entry to form 12345 with first_name='Bob', email='bob@example.com'."
Why this helps
New workspaces and channels can appear without a record of why they were started or what should happen next.
- Keep a record of newly created channels and their purpose.
- Create a review point for new initiatives.
- Reduce the effort of maintaining a separate launch log.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Formdesk to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, describe what channel creation details should be recorded in Formdesk.
- 4Choose the New Channel Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Create one test channel and check the resulting Formdesk entry.
