Notis

Mark Slack updates after a browser check

Make a browser verification visible in the Slack conversation where the work was discussed.

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

After checking a live page, people often forget to return to Slack and mark the original update as reviewed.

  • Show that a related update received a browser check.
  • Cut the manual step of returning to Slack after verification.
  • Keep the signal attached to the conversation already tracking the work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Anchor browser and Slack once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in plain language or open Automations, then choose New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis what to verify, how to identify the related Slack message, and which reaction to add only when the stated condition is met.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real page and a known Slack message timestamp.

Questions about this workflow

Does a reaction confirm that the page is correct?

It signals the outcome you define. Specify the exact condition that must be verified before Notis adds the reaction.

What does Notis need to react to a specific message?

Slack requires the channel and message timestamp. Include them in the task context or make them available through the workflow.

Will it remove a reaction if the page later changes?

No. This action adds a reaction and does not remove or retrieve reactions.
