Automatically create a Discord channel for every new project

Adding a new project row to a spreadsheet automatically creates its Discord channel and notifies the team.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Setting up a new Discord channel and announcing it to the team every time a project starts is a small task that adds up, and it's easy to forget or do inconsistently. You want every project to get the same clean setup without babysitting it.

Who it fits

An agency or project-based team that spins up a new Discord channel for every client or project.

How it works

  1. A new row is added to your project spreadsheet
  2. The system checks whether that project already has a channel
  3. A new Discord channel is created for the project
  4. The spreadsheet is updated with the channel details
  5. A welcome message with the project details is posted in the new channel
What you get

Channels that appear the moment a project starts

The moment you add a new project to your sheet, its Discord channel appears and your team gets a welcome message inside.

What you get

A new, ready-to-use Discord channel with the team notified and the spreadsheet updated.

What you need

A Google account and a Discord account with bot access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
