Start new Trello projects with a clear kickoff
When a board is created, let Notis introduce its purpose and first next step in the Slack space where your team coordinates.
Trigger
New Board Trigger
Triggered when a board is created in the specified workspace
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
A new board can exist without a shared explanation of why it matters or what happens first.
- Give collaborators a simple project introduction.
- Make the first next step easier to find.
- Reduce time spent explaining the same board context individually.
