Secure Sensitive Discussions: Auto-Adjust Channel Permissions
Neurodivergent teams sometimes need different discussion rules for different issue types. This workflow automatically adjusts Slack channel permissions when security or compliance issues arise.
Trigger
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.
Action
Get channel conversation preferences
Retrieves conversation preferences (e.g., who can post, who can thread) for a specified channel, primarily for use within slack enterprise grid environments.
Why this helps
Security or compliance issues need restricted discussion threads, but you forget to set special permissions. Sensitive conversations mix with general updates.
- Automatically enforce proper discussion controls for sensitive issues
- Reduce compliance risk by restricting who can comment on certain issue types
- Keep discussion organization aligned with issue sensitivity
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Slack to Notis (one-time).
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When an issue type changes to Security or Legal in Jira, restrict the Slack channel so only project leads can post messages; return to normal permissions when the issue type changes.'
- 3Select 'Updated Issue' as the trigger.
- 4Specify which issue types trigger restrictions (Security, Legal, Compliance, etc.).
- 5Test by updating an issue type to Security and verifying Slack permissions change.
Questions about this workflow
How do you know which Slack channel to adjust?
Notis matches the channel name to the project name, or you can specify the exact channel in your prompt.
Can I set different permission levels for different issue types?
Yes. Create separate automations: 'Security issues: only leads can post. Legal issues: only legal team can post.'
What if the issue reopens after being resolved?
Create a workflow to restore normal permissions when the issue status changes back to open.
