Follow up on sitemap changes from Slack
A sitemap update can lead straight to a Search Console details check, keeping the small but important follow-up attached to the change.

Why this helps
Sitemap changes are easy to lose among launch and maintenance updates, leaving uncertainty about the Search Console record.
- Give sitemap updates a clear verification step.
- Keep the follow-up near the change announcement.
- Reduce the need to remember a separate console check.

- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to set it up in plain language.
- 3Describe in one instruction when to retrieve information for a sitemap change mentioned in Slack.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a change update that identifies a sitemap and its site.
Questions about this workflow
Does it validate that the sitemap is correct?
Get Sitemap retrieves its Google Search Console information. It does not guarantee the sitemap content is correct.
What details should the Slack update include?
Identify the site and specific sitemap clearly so Notis can perform the intended lookup.
