Create a technical brief for a new project channel
Start project discussions with the documentation facts everyone needs close at hand.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Query-docs
Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.
Why this helps
Teams repeat the same setup research after a new channel is created and ownership shifts.
- Speed up technical onboarding
- Align the team on dependencies
- Reduce repeated research
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Context7 MCP in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for new channel technical briefs.
- 3Tell Notis to read the channel's initial context, resolve each library, and produce a short brief with setup links and version notes.
- 4Pick the new channel created trigger.
- 5Choose report delivery and test with a newly created project channel.
Questions about this workflow
What if the channel starts empty?
Notis can report that more context is needed before creating the brief.
Can the brief be tailored to a stack?
Yes. Mention the team's language, framework, and preferred level of detail.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Query-docs
Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Resolve-library-id
Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns matching libraries. You MUST call this function before 'query-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. Selection Process: 1. Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for 2. Return the most relevant match based on: - Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized) - Description relevance to the query's intent - Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts) - Source reputation (consider libraries with High or Medium reputation more authoritative) - Benchmark Score: Quality indicator (100 is the highest score) Response Format: - Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section - Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen - If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one - If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best result you have.
