Start Strong: Auto-Enable Team Groups for New Projects
Neurodivergent teams need clear structure from the start. This workflow automatically enables a Slack team group whenever a new Jira project launches.
Trigger
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
Action
Enable a user group
Enables a disabled user group in slack using its id, reactivating it for mentions and permissions; this action only changes the enabled status and cannot create new groups or modify other properties.
Why this helps
New projects start with scattered team communication. You forget to enable the team group or do it days later, causing early confusion and missed alignment.
- Ensure every new project has an active team group from day one
- Reduce project startup overhead by automating team structure
- Keep new project teams organized and aligned immediately
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Slack to Notis (one-time).
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a new project is created in Jira, enable the corresponding Slack user group (e.g., [ProjectName]-Team) if it exists, or create it if it doesn't.'
- 3Select 'New Project' as the trigger.
- 4Specify how the team group name should be derived from the project name.
- 5Test by creating a new Jira project and verifying the Slack team group is enabled or created.
Questions about this workflow
What if the team group doesn't exist yet?
Ask Notis to create it: 'If the group doesn't exist, create a new user group with all users assigned to the project in Jira.'
Can I auto-add specific people to the group?
Yes. Include in your prompt: 'Always include [email@company.com] and the project lead.'
Do I need to manually create team groups in advance?
Not if you use the create option. Or create a template group that Notis enables when needed.

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
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Set snooze duration
Deprecated: turns on do not disturb mode for the current user, or changes its duration. use `set dnd duration` instead.
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
Add a custom emoji to a Slack team
Deprecated: adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url. use `add emoji` instead.
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Add an emoji alias
Adds an alias for an existing custom emoji in a slack enterprise grid organization.
Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.

Registers new participants added to a slack call.
Add emoji
Adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url; subject to workspace emoji limits.
