CRM Lead/Opportunity how to add defined follower automatically

Question

I would like to add automatically a Channel as follower when a new lead is created. My idea is to do it with a new Server Action, but I am not sure whether this is the right approach.
So I created a new Server Action under Technical Settings with following parameters:
Model: Lead/Opportunity
Action to Do: Add Followers
Add Channels: Sales
But this is not working (Odoo12)! What's wrong? What can I do that this Channel will be added automatically while creating a new Lead/Opportunity?

Hi,
server actions do not assume automation. It is a way to add the action in the top menu entry 'Action' (if you pushed the button 'create contextual actions'). Besides, that action might be used in the code.
Defaults are defined  in the interface :
Turn on the debug mode
Go to Odoo settings > technical > actions > user defined defaults
However, with followers it would not work, since you can't define proper json here. It might be done only through coding.
*Luckily,* you are working with opport

You can override " _add_follower_command" method in " mail.followers" model

@Odoo Tools: i've tested your recommendation adding channel to followers in Sales Team, but it is not working!
New opportunities still not have the channel included!
@Odoo Tools: I've checked, Sales Team is assigned to Opportunity!
