Keep launch visuals together from the first announcement
Start a launch album from the Slack message where the team kicks off the work.
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
Create Album

Why this helps
Launch images get lost among chat messages, shared folders, and last-minute requests.
- Give launch visuals a single, recognizable destination.
- Make it easier for teammates to add photos as the launch progresses.
- Cut down on searching through Slack to recover images.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Photos to Notis once.
- 2In the portal, create a new automation and name it for launch albums.
- 3Use one plain-language prompt telling Notis to create an album when a Slack launch announcement appears.
- 4Choose the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real launch post and confirm the album title is useful.
Questions about this workflow
