Organize client emails into dedicated Slack channels
When a major client emails you, Notis creates a dedicated private Slack channel, pulling the team together in one place to collaborate on the response.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create channel
Initiates a public or private channel-based conversation
Why this helps
Client emails get scattered across DMs, individual channels, and fragmented Slack threads, making it hard for teams to stay coordinated on important accounts.
- Centralize team collaboration around important clients without manual channel setup
- Reduce context-switching by keeping all client-related conversations in one channel
- Improve team coordination by ensuring everyone sees client emails and can contribute
- Create an archive of client interactions automatically for future reference
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: ask Notis 'When a major client emails me, create a private Slack channel for that client' or use the portal.
- 3Describe the outcome: 'Create a channel named client-[company-name] and post the email with sender and subject line.'
- 4Select the trigger: New Gmail Message Received from key client email addresses or domains.
- 5Choose a Slack workspace channel for run reports.
- 6Test by having a client contact send you a test email and verify a new private channel is created.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis name the new channels?
Tell it in your prompt. Examples: 'use the sender's company name' or 'use the client email domain'. Notis will automatically slugify it to be Slack-compatible.
Can I set which clients get channels?
Yes. Specify in your prompt which senders or domains trigger channel creation (e.g., 'only emails from @acme-corp.com' or specific investor emails).
Who gets added to the channel automatically?
You define it. Include in the prompt which team members should be invited (e.g., 'add all of #sales team' or specific roles).
