Never Lose Track: Auto-Star Critical Slide Updates
Some slides matter more than others. When you add a high-priority slide—client decks, board materials, key announcements—Notis stars it in Slack automatically, making it instantly findable when the pressure is on.
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 slides disappear into the conversation stream and you can't find them when you need them fast.
- Critical slides stay visible and searchable
- Reduces panic when you need to find something fast
- No extra fields—Slack's native star system does the heavy lifting
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Slack.
- 2Create an automation named 'Star important slides'.
- 3Write: 'When a new slide is added to client presentations or board decks, star it in Slack so it's easily accessible.'
- 4Select 'New Slide Added' as the trigger.
- 5Add a test slide to your client presentation—Notis will star it.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which slides are important?
You tell it in your prompt—mention presentation names, keywords, or contexts like 'anything in the Board Materials deck' and Notis will trigger only for those.
Can I unstar something by mistake?
Yes, and Notis won't re-star it unless the trigger fires again. You're in control.
What if I want different reactions for different priority levels?
This automation stars. For other reactions (emoji), create separate automations with different action types.
