One Slide, One Channel: Auto-Create Spaces for Presentation Collaboration
Every new presentation needs a home in Slack—but setting up channels manually is friction. Notis creates a channel the instant you add the first slide, pulling your team into a dedicated space for that specific deck.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
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 presentations start without a channel, so feedback and discussion scatter across DMs and existing channels.
- Removes setup friction—channel exists before you need it
- Keeps all feedback and discussion in one thread
- Clearer ownership and transparency for multi-person decks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Slack integrations.
- 2Create an automation titled 'Create channels for new presentations'.
- 3Enter: 'When a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation, create a Slack channel named [presentation-name]-collab for discussion.'
- 4Choose 'New Slide Added' as the trigger and log runs to #automation-logs.
- 5Create a test slide in a new presentation—Notis will create a channel in seconds.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis name the channel?
From your prompt. Mention a naming pattern like '[deck-name]-feedback' or 'collab-[project]', and Notis will use that format.
What if a channel already exists?
Notis will skip creation and log that the channel already exists—no duplicates or errors.
Can I auto-invite specific people to the channel?
Yes—mention roles or names in your prompt like 'invite the marketing team' and Notis will handle it.
