Highlight Bible passages for team reflection in Slack

Bring a verse into a team conversation and mark its message for reflection without switching between tools.

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 passage worth discussing can get lost among busy Slack conversations before anyone has time to return to it.

  • Mark a relevant Slack message for follow-up reflection.
  • Use the supplied passage as context for a focused team discussion.
  • Reduce the effort of carrying scripture references between apps.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Api bible and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3Describe how to use the webhook's passage and message context to find the relevant Slack message and add the chosen reaction.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real passage and Slack message.

Questions about this workflow

What starts this workflow?

A Notis webhook request starts it. The request should provide enough passage and Slack message context for Notis to identify the relevant conversation.

Does Api bible trigger the automation?

No. Api bible has no trigger events in this workflow package. The webhook starts the automation, and Api bible can be used to look up the passage.
