- Reduce small setup tasks during project launches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and L2s to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction for shortening the starter URL provided for a new channel.
- 3Choose New Channel Created as the trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 4Create a test channel and provide one real starter URL for the workflow to process.
Questions about this workflow
Does a new channel event include the starter URL automatically?
The trigger signals that a channel was created. Explain in the instruction where Notis should find or receive the URL, then test that setup.
What if the channel has no starter URL?
Tell Notis in the prompt to skip shortening and report that no URL was provided.
