Why this helps
An album title becomes stale after plans change, making it harder for teammates to recognize.
- Keep album names understandable as plans evolve.
- Reduce confusion between similar event collections.
- Avoid switching apps to make straightforward title updates.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Photos to Notis once.
- 2Create a new portal automation for album title updates.
- 3Write one plain-language prompt describing what Slack updates warrant a title change and how to identify the album.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a clear rename update and review the album title in Google Photos.
