Give each new Trello board a Slack home
Let Notis prepare a Slack channel when a new board is created, so the project has a place for quick coordination.
Trigger
New Board Trigger
Triggered when a board is created in the specified workspace
Action
Create a channel-based conversation
Creates a new public or private slack channel with a unique name; the channel can be org-wide, or team-specific if `team id` is given (required if `org wide` is false or not provided).
Why this helps
A new project can begin in Trello before anyone creates the Slack space needed to coordinate around it.
- Give project conversations a dedicated home early.
- Avoid a separate channel-creation chore during setup.
- Help teammates find where to coordinate about the board.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Trello and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what to do conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Slack channel named for the new board and explain its purpose.
- 4Select the Trello new-board trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Create one real test board and confirm the channel is appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis set a channel purpose?
