Organize Weekly: Automatic Sprint Team Groups
Neurodivergent teams benefit from clear, rotating team structures. This workflow automatically creates a new Slack user group every week for your active sprint team.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a Slack user group
Creates a new user group (often referred to as a subteam) in a slack workspace.
Why this helps
You manually create user groups for each sprint. New team members don't get added to the group immediately, and old groups clutter your workspace.
- Eliminate manual user group creation for each sprint
- Automatically include all sprint team members without manual invitations
- Create a clean, organized structure for mentions and communications
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Slack to Notis (one-time).
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'Every Monday morning, create a Slack user group named This-Week-Team with all users assigned to issues in the current Jira sprint.'
- 3Select 'Cron Trigger' and set it to 'Weekly on Monday at 9 AM'.
- 4Specify which sprint to pull team members from (e.g., 'active sprint' or 'sprint starting this week').
- 5Test by manually running the automation and verifying the group is created with the right members.
Questions about this workflow
What happens to last week's group?
It stays in Slack. You can manually archive it or create an automation to disable it.
Will new team members added mid-sprint be included?
Only on the next Monday run. For real-time additions, use an event-driven workflow instead of cron.
Can I use the group name to reflect the sprint (e.g., Sprint-42-Team)?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the sprint name: 'Name the group [SprintName]-Team.'

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.

Add emoji
Adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url; subject to workspace emoji limits.
