Keep your source review note easy to revisit
When a new channel joins your research orbit, keep the team's source review guidance easy to find in Slack.
Trigger
New YouTube Channel Subscription
Triggers when a new channel is subscribed.
Action
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Without a convenient review reference, source evaluation can become inconsistent or get deferred indefinitely.
- Keep evaluation guidance close to new discoveries.
- Make a shared research habit easier to resume.
- Lower the friction of source review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect YouTube and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or tell Notis to star your source-review note when you subscribe to a channel.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to identify the Slack note or message.
- 4Pick the new YouTube channel subscription trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one actual subscription and verify the reference is starred.
Questions about this workflow
Does this decide whether the channel is valuable?
No. It keeps your Slack review guidance accessible so you can make that decision.
Can this star a message in a private channel?
The message must be accessible to the connected Slack account.
