Project Request Channel Creation
Every new project request deserves its own Slack channel. Automate it instead of manually setting up.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
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
You receive project briefs in email, but collaboration spreads across email threads, Slack DMs, and loose documents. Nothing is ever in one place, and context gets lost.
- New projects immediately get a dedicated space without manual setup
- All communication, files, and decisions live in one channel instead of scattered threads
- Team members know exactly where to find project updates and context
- Channel history provides permanent reference even after the project ends
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Describe your automation: 'When a project request email arrives, create a Slack channel named after the project with the client name.'
- 3Set the trigger to New Email Received.
- 4Customize the channel naming pattern in your prompt (e.g., 'project-[client-name]-[date]').
- 5Test by sending a project request email and verify the channel is created and ready.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis name the channel?
You tell Notis in the prompt, like 'use the client name and project type' or 'include the date.' Slack channel naming rules are enforced automatically.
Can it invite team members automatically?
Yes. You can ask Notis to invite specific team members or the entire team to each new project channel.
What if I get non-project emails?
Describe the exception: 'Only for emails with "project request" or from specific clients.'
