Acknowledge documents ready for review
When a document is ready for review, make the related Slack message easy to recognize with a reaction chosen in your instruction.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
Why this helps
Review-ready updates can get lost when teammates have to scan a busy channel for the right message.
- Make review-ready messages visually scannable.
- Use a reaction your team already understands.
- Avoid writing a separate acknowledgement message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what outcome you want.
- 3Ask Notis to add your chosen reaction to the Slack message identified by an ActiveMerge review-ready webhook.
- 4Choose notis_webhook and configure ActiveMerge to send the relevant Slack channel and message timestamp.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real review-ready message.
Questions about this workflow
Does the reaction notify reviewers?
It adds a reaction to the identified message. Slack notification behavior depends on the workspace and user settings.
What does the webhook need to include?
