Flag accessibility follow-ups with a Slack reaction
Use a simple reaction to bring a known Slack discussion back into view when an Amara accessibility workflow needs follow-up.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Accessibility review follow-ups can get buried when project status and team discussion are separated.
- Bring an existing Slack discussion back into view.
- Tie a reaction to an Amara review condition.
- Avoid creating a new conversation for every status check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amara and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for accessibility review follow-up.
- 3Tell Notis to check Amara accessibility workflow status and add a chosen reaction to the specified Slack message when the stated follow-up condition is met.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Amara workflow and a Slack message timestamp you provide.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis find any Slack message automatically?
The reaction action requires the channel and message timestamp. Provide the message to monitor or a reliable way for Notis to identify it.
What status can trigger the reaction?
Use a status or review condition available from Amara, such as a pending review state. The exact condition should match the data your projects provide.
Does the reaction close the review task?
No. It adds a reaction to the Slack message to flag the discussion.
