Why this helps
New channels often begin without shared references, leaving early decisions dependent on scattered links.
- Improve channel kickoff context
- Create a shared reference quickly
- Reduce repeated explanations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Chatfai once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named New channel character starter.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the configured Chatfai public character and write a short starter brief tailored to the new channel purpose.
- 4Pick New Channel Created as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test by creating one real Slack channel with a known character ID in the automation context.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the character ID come from?
Provide it in the automation prompt or the event context; Notis cannot invent an ID.
Can this choose a character automatically?
Only if you provide a reliable ID or selection rule and the required data is available.
