A known starred item gives an important presentation reference a stable place in Slack.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
Action
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Important presentation references disappear in busy Slack conversations.
- Marks a known item for personal retrieval
- Separates priority selection from Slides content extraction
- Requires an identifiable Slack item before changing state
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Slack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal named 'Star a Supplied Slack Item for Priority Reference'.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction: 'When a new slide is added, star an existing slack channel, file, comment, or message selected by the supplied priority rule. Use only the supplied context: existing Slack item identity, priority rule, and star authorization.'
- 4Select New Slide Added and choose a channel for run reports; provide the stated context.
- 5Test with one real, bounded example and review the returned Slack result.
