- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction which launch posts justify a new GitLab project and how to name it from the post.
- 4Choose New Channel Post and pick a channel for run reports.
- 5Publish a test kickoff post and verify the resulting project details.
