Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.

Why this helps

Visual organization is essential for neurodivergent founders, but manually flagging every new lead is tedious and easy to forget. Stars should appear automatically.

  • Visually distinguish new contacts without manual effort
  • Build a starred list of recent, priority leads in Slack
  • Reduce time spent searching for new contacts to follow up on
  • Support neurodivergent organizational styles with visual markers

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect HubSpot and Slack to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation called 'New Contact Star' with this prompt: 'When a new contact is created in HubSpot, star the message in the #leads channel as a visual flag for priority follow-up.'
  • 3Select 'Contact Created' as your trigger and set #leads as your reporting channel.
  • 4Test by creating a contact in HubSpot and verifying the message receives a star in Slack.

Questions about this workflow

Can I use a different emoji instead of a star?

Yes. Edit the prompt to request any emoji, like a 'fire' or 'rocket' emoji for different priority levels or contact types.

Does this work with existing Slack messages?

Notis stars new messages as they're created. For existing contacts, you'd need to run a one-time backfill or manually add stars.

Can I filter which contacts get starred?

Yes. Edit your prompt to add conditions, like 'only star contacts from specific companies' or 'only star leads without assigned salespeople'.
