Find the team space for a new source

When a new channel catches your interest, let Notis find the Slack space where the team tracks sources.

Trigger

New YouTube Channel Subscription

Triggers when a new channel is subscribed.

Action

Find channels

Find channels in a slack workspace by any criteria - name, topic, purpose, or description.

Why this helps

Interesting sources can stay personal discoveries when the team has no clear handoff point.

  • Find the existing home for source discussions.
  • Reduce the effort of routing research discoveries.
  • Make collaboration around new sources easier to start.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect YouTube and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis to find the team's research channel after a new YouTube subscription.
  • 3Describe the channel topic or purpose in a single plain-language instruction.
  • 4Select the new YouTube channel subscription trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real subscription and review the search result for fit.

Questions about this workflow

Does this post the new source to the channel?

The selected action finds Slack channels. Use a channel message action if you want Notis to share the source there.

What if there are several matching channels?

Ask Notis to prioritize the channel whose purpose best matches your research process, then verify the result.
