Organize Faster: Auto-Create Slack Channels for New Projects
Neurodivergent teams benefit from clear organizational structure. This workflow instantly creates a Slack channel every time a new Jira project launches, so your team has a home for collaboration.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
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
New projects in Jira sit idle because no one remembers to create a Slack channel. Teams end up scattered across old channels or DMs, losing context and duplicating conversations.
- Eliminate manual channel creation overhead for each new project
- Give every project an instant home for team communication
- Reduce scattered conversations and improve knowledge retention in dedicated spaces
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Slack to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a new project is created in Jira, create a Slack channel named after the project (convert spaces to hyphens).'
- 3Select 'New Project' as the trigger.
- 4Optionally add: 'Set the channel description to the project's Jira description and invite the project lead.'
- 5Test by creating a sample Jira project and confirm the Slack channel appears.
Questions about this workflow
What if the project name is already taken in Slack?
Notis will append a timestamp or increment number to ensure uniqueness. You can rename it manually after.
Can team members be auto-invited?
Yes. Ask Notis to invite users by email or by a Jira project role (e.g., 'all members of the project lead role').
Should it be public or private?
Specify in your prompt: 'Create a private channel' (or public, depending on your governance).

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Slack. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
Slack actions
