Gather Team Feedback from Slack into Google Sheets
Team feedback scattered across Slack messages is hard to analyze and even harder to act on. This automation collects every feedback mention into a structured sheet where you can spot patterns and priorities.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Append Values to Spreadsheet
Tool to append values to a spreadsheet. use when you need to add new data to the end of an existing table in a google sheet.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders miss team feedback because it's casually mentioned in channels rather than formally submitted, leading to blind spots in team morale and process improvements.
- All feedback centralized in one place
- Spot trends and patterns in team feedback
- Reduce email surveys and friction
- Make decisions based on real team input
- Track feedback over time for improvement
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation with 'Channel Message Received' as your trigger.
- 3Point to your #feedback or #general channel.
- 4Write your prompt: 'When someone posts feedback in this channel, append their name, date, feedback category (e.g., Process, Tools, Culture), and the feedback itself to my feedback sheet.'
- 5Test and monitor for a week, refining your prompt if needed to capture the right feedback.
Questions about this workflow
How do I prevent spam or non-constructive feedback?
In your prompt, add a note: 'Only append feedback that includes specific, actionable points. Skip general complaints or one-word reactions.'
Can I segment feedback by topic automatically?
Yes. Ask Notis to categorize feedback (Tools, Process, Culture, Growth, etc.) based on keywords in the message, then append the category alongside the feedback.
Should I let people know their feedback is being logged?
It's good practice to mention in your channel description that feedback is being tracked for improvements. Keep it positive: 'Your voice shapes how we build.'
