Acknowledge completed PDF jobs where the team talks
Mark a matching Slack notice as handled when your process reports that an Api2pdf conversion is complete.
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
People may repeat checks or follow up because a completed document notice has no clear sign that someone saw it.
- Show that a PDF completion notice was acknowledged.
- Reduce duplicate follow-up on routine document jobs.
- Keep the signal on the existing Slack message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api2pdf and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which existing Slack notice to acknowledge.
- 3Choose a Notis webhook trigger for the completed PDF job.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real completion notice, including its Slack channel and message timestamp.
