Mark mailing milestones on the Slack message
When an update identifies a mailing milestone and its Slack message, Notis can add your chosen reaction to that message.
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
A milestone can be hard to spot when its Slack discussion is buried in an active channel.
- Make a specified milestone message easier to recognize.
- Keep the status marker beside the discussion.
- Avoid searching back through Slack to add a reaction manually.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amcards and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe which mailing milestone should be marked.
- 3Tell Notis to add your chosen reaction when the webhook update provides a Slack channel, message timestamp, and milestone.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real update that identifies an existing Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis find the Slack message from the mailing update alone?
This Slack action requires a channel and message timestamp. Supply those details in the update or in information available to the automation.
Does the reaction update the Amcards campaign?
No. This workflow adds a reaction to a Slack message; it does not change Amcards data.
