Your team creates a new Slack channel for a project or initiative. Notis instantly kicks off a matching workflow run in Process Street so everyone knows work is being tracked from day one.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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
New projects or campaigns spin up in Slack channels, but they often aren't formally added to your process tracking system until weeks later. Checklists and accountability slip.
- Every new project automatically gets a tracking workflow
- Ensure consistent onboarding for all initiatives
- Reduce manual task setup and duplicate work
- Maintain a complete audit trail of all projects
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Process Street integrations to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a new Slack channel is created, create a corresponding workflow run in Process Street for project tracking.'
- 3Choose 'New Channel Created' as your trigger.
- 4Select a Process Street workflow template to use for all new channel workflows (or let Notis create a default one).
- 5Test by creating a new Slack channel and verifying a workflow run appears in Process Street.
Questions about this workflow
What if we create a channel that doesn't need a workflow (e.g., a social channel)?
You can refine the automation to exclude certain channel names or patterns (e.g., 'fun-', 'random-', etc.).
Can the workflow name include the channel name?
Yes. Notis can extract the channel name and use it in the workflow title, so each one is unique.
What template should I use for new project workflows?
Create a default template in Process Street with your standard onboarding checklist (goals, team assignments, milestones, etc.). Notis will instantiate it for each new channel.
