Start every Slack channel with clear folder guidance
New channels should start with shared context. Notis can retrieve your AlgoDocs folders and prepare a practical filing guide for the team.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
List folders
Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve all folder IDs and their hierarchy. Must be called after obtaining an API key.
Why this helps
New project channels often lack consistent rules for where documents should go.
- Creates a repeatable channel kickoff
- Uses the current folder hierarchy
- Reduces early filing confusion

- 4Pick New Channel Created Trigger as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test it by creating a dedicated test channel.
Questions about this workflow
Does it create folders for the channel?
No. It only lists existing folders and drafts guidance.
Can the orientation mention the channel purpose?
