Why this helps
A new team channel can get busy before anyone sets up a place to track its project details.
- Start a project register when a channel is created.
- Use a consistent table structure for new initiatives.
- Reduce the gap between starting a conversation and organizing project information.

- 1Connect Slackbot and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Slack Channel Project Register.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a table in the specified existing Airtable base when a channel is created, using a short project tracking structure you describe.
- 4Pick the New Channel Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real new channel event.
