Why this helps

Access requests sit in chat while work waits for a manual permission change.

  • Create a consistent approval path
  • Keep requests traceable

  • 2Create an automation and describe the approval and permission conditions.
  • 3Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one authorized request.

Questions about this workflow

Can it add permissions without approval rules?

Your instruction should define when a request is authorized before the permission action runs.

What if the requester is unclear?

Tell Notis to report the ambiguity instead of making a permission change.
