Create a ClickSend list for each new Slack channel
Give every new initiative a ready place for SMS contacts.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Create Contact List
Tool to create a new contact list in your ClickSend account. Use when you need to organize contacts into separate lists for targeted messaging campaigns. Note: API allows up to 2,000 contact lists per account.
Why this helps
New projects start without a clear contact list, making later outreach harder to organize.
- Organize contacts at project kickoff
- Keep channel and outreach context aligned
- Reduce setup chores for new initiatives
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and ClickSend in the Notis portal.
- 2Create the automation and describe how each new channel should create an appropriate contact list.
- 3Pick New Channel Created as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should post run reports.
- 5Test by creating one temporary Slack channel.
Questions about this workflow
