Automatically coordinate crisis communications across multiple channels when leadership changes or company emergencies occur, ensuring consistent messaging.

Workflow Steps

1

Slack

Create crisis trigger channel

Set up a private #crisis-alerts channel where authorized team members can post urgent situations using a specific format like 'CRISIS: [Type] - [Brief Description]'.

2

Zapier

Detect crisis keywords

Create a Zap that monitors the crisis channel for messages containing keywords like 'CRISIS:', 'URGENT:', 'CEO CHANGE', 'LEADERSHIP'. This triggers the automated response workflow.

3

Notion

Log incident details

Automatically create a new page in a Crisis Management database with timestamp, incident type, initial description, and status tracking fields. This becomes the single source of truth.

4

Gmail

Alert leadership team

Send immediate email alerts to pre-defined leadership distribution list with crisis details and link to the Notion incident page. Include escalation protocols and next steps.

5

Slack

Update stakeholder channels

Post standardized updates to relevant channels (#all-hands, #investors, #board-updates) using templates that ensure consistent messaging while the crisis is being managed.
