Set up tracking when new work begins

When a team announces a new initiative in Slack, Notis can create a Klipfolio data source to give its reporting a clear starting point.

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 Data Source

This tool creates a new data source in klipfolio. it uses the post /datasources endpoint to add a data source with required parameters (name, format, connector, endpointurl) and optional parameters (description, refreshinterval, method, additionalproperties).

Why this helps

Tracking setup often gets postponed when a team is busy getting a new initiative moving.

  • Starts a reporting source closer to the kickoff
  • Reduces the chance tracking setup gets lost
  • Supports a consistent home for new initiative data

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Klipfolio to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to create a Klipfolio data source when a channel message clearly announces a trackable initiative.
  • 4Pick the Slack channel-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real initiative announcement and review the created source details.

Questions about this workflow

Will Notis know the required source connector?

The create-source action requires source details such as format, connector, and endpoint URL. Your instruction and connected account context must provide enough information for Notis to proceed.

Can this create a dashboard too?

This workflow creates a data source. Creating a dashboard tab is a separate Klipfolio action.
