Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Generate Content (Gemini)
Generates text content from prompts using gemini models. supports various models like gemini flash and pro with configurable temperature, token limits, and safety settings for diverse text generation tasks.
Why this helps
New channels can start without enough context, making it harder for people to know what belongs there.
- Start with a usable purpose statement.
- Set expectations before conversations spread.
- Reduce the manual work of writing channel guidance.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gemini to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to draft purpose guidance when a Slack channel is created.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction describing the tone and guidance to include.
- 4Select the New Channel Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a newly created channel and review the draft before sharing it.
Questions about this workflow
Will Gemini post the guidance into Slack automatically?
The selected Gemini action generates content. Whether it is posted elsewhere depends on additional configured actions.
Can the draft rely only on the channel name?
Yes, but the result may be general. Ask for uncertain details to be labeled as suggestions.
