Make invoice exceptions stand out in Slack
Have Notis assess invoice processing context from Affinda and mark the related Slack message with a reaction when it needs human review.
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
An invoice exception can be buried in routine processing updates and go unnoticed by the person who needs to handle it.
- Visually flag a review item in an existing Slack conversation
- Help teammates spot exceptions without another status channel
- Keep human attention on cases the prompt identifies as needing review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction how to identify invoice exceptions, locate the related Slack message, and add a reaction when the message is accessible.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger, select a report channel, then test with one real exception example.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a new Slack message?
No. The selected action adds a reaction to an existing message. The workflow needs enough context to identify the right message.
How does the workflow start?
A Notis webhook starts it because Affinda has no listed trigger events in this package. The webhook request should identify the processed invoice or relevant result.
