Keep Booking Categories Aligned with Team Decisions
When a new scheduling category is clearly agreed in Slack, Notis can make it available in Hub Planner so people do not need to improvise labels.
Trigger

Action
Create Booking Category
Tool to create a new booking category in Hub Planner. Use when you need to define a new category type for classifying bookings (e.g., "At Client", "Remote Work", "Training").
Why this helps
A team can settle on a useful booking type but still lack a consistent option in its planning tool.
- Make agreed booking labels consistent across the team.
- Reduce time spent deciding how to classify a booking.
- Keep category creation tied to confirmed decisions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Hub Planner to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation telling Notis to create a booking category only when Slack clearly confirms the new type.
- 3Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose a report channel.
- 4Test with one real decision and verify the category is available.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create a booking too?
No. It creates a category; scheduling a booking is a separate action.
What if the team is still discussing names?
Tell Notis to wait until the category name is explicitly agreed.
