Connect Teams Instantly: Auto-Link Related Channels
Neurodivergent teams often work in silos. This workflow automatically finds and links related Slack channels whenever a new Jira issue arrives, so teams can coordinate effortlessly.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Action
Find channels
Find channels in a slack workspace by any criteria - name, topic, purpose, or description.
Why this helps
A new issue affects multiple teams, but no one realizes it because the issue is only visible in one channel or in Jira. Teams work in parallel without coordination.
- Automatically surface related teams and channels without manual searching
- Improve cross-team awareness and reduce duplicate work
- Keep all stakeholders informed through channel discovery and linking
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 issue is created in Jira, find all Slack channels related to the project, component, or assignee, and post a message in the issue announcement thread listing those channels.'
- 3Select 'New Issue' as the trigger.
- 4Specify how to determine related channels (by project name, by team, by labels, etc.).
- 5Test by creating an issue and verifying related channels are discovered and linked.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which channels are related?
It uses channel names, descriptions, and topic. You can also specify exact channel names in the automation prompt.
Can it invite people from related channels to a new sprint channel?
Yes. Combine this with an invite workflow: 'After listing related channels, invite members from each to the sprint channel.'
What if too many channels are listed?
Ask Notis to filter: 'Only show channels if they match one of these keywords: team-name, component-name.'
