Turn Slack Channel Messages Into Process Street Workflows
Set up a dedicated Slack channel (e.g., #requests or #feature-ideas). Every message posted there becomes a workflow run in Process Street, so nothing slips through the cracks.
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 Workflow Run
This tool creates a new workflow run from a specified workflow template. it is one of the most fundamental operations in process street, allowing users to initiate a new instance of a workflow. the tool requires a workflow template id and optionally allows setting a custom name, due date, and whether to enable a share link.
Why this helps
Team members post requests, feedback, and ideas in Slack channels, but they often don't end up in your actual task management system. By the time you notice, the thread is buried.
- Dedicate a Slack channel as your intake point
- All messages become trackable workflow runs automatically
- Reduce back-and-forth about what needs doing
- Maintain a searchable history in Process Street
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Process Street to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a message is posted in #requests channel in Slack, create a workflow run in Process Street with that message.'
- 3Select 'Channel Message Received' as your trigger and specify your intake channel (e.g., #requests, #ideas, #bugs).
- 4Pick a confirmation channel and test by posting a message in your intake channel.
- 5Refine if needed (e.g., only certain channels, or only messages with specific keywords).
Questions about this workflow
Do I have to monitor only one channel or can I set this up for multiple channels?
You can create separate automations for different channels, or combine them into one automation that monitors multiple channels if you prefer.
What if someone posts off-topic in the channel?
By default, every message becomes a workflow run. You can refine the automation to only trigger on messages containing certain keywords or from specific users.
Can I assign workflows to specific team members based on content?
Yes. Notis can parse the message and route workflows to different teams or templates based on keywords like 'bug', 'feature', or 'support'.
