Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add reaction to message

Why this helps
A potentially important volatility update can be hard to connect with the Slack conversation that needs it.
- Review user-defined volatility conditions.
- Mark the related existing Slack message for visibility.
- Start the check from an external webhook.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpha Vantage and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Specify the volatility data, decision rule, and Slack message to react to in one instruction.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the matching message is identified.
Questions about this workflow
What if the relevant Slack message is missing?
The reaction action requires an existing message. Include a reliable way to identify its channel and timestamp in the workflow context.
Will Notis decide what volatility is unusual?
Provide the threshold or comparison rule. Notis should not assume a baseline that was not supplied.
