Notis

Make completed signal reviews visible

Give the team a lightweight visual cue when a signal has been checked against Akta information.

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

Without a visible review marker, teammates may repeat the same research or mistake an unchecked signal for a verified one.

  • Show that a specific signal message was reviewed.
  • Reduce duplicate checking by teammates.
  • Keep the review marker attached to the relevant conversation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Akta and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to review the Akta information associated with the request and add the chosen reaction only to the Slack message whose channel and timestamp are provided.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example that includes a Slack channel, message timestamp, and Akta result.

Questions about this workflow

Can the reaction be added without a message identifier?

No. The Slack action requires an existing message identified by its channel and timestamp.

Does a reaction prove the signal is true?

A reaction only marks the message according to your instruction. Define it as a review marker and ask Notis to report uncertainty in its run report.
