Notis

Make scheduled site checks visible in Slack

Put a clear review signal where your team already talks, so scheduled visual checks are easier to notice and 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

Routine site checks can be easy to miss when screenshots live outside the conversation where teammates coordinate review.

  • Makes a scheduled visual check easier to spot in an existing Slack conversation.
  • Reduces the need to remember to announce each routine review manually.
  • Keeps the check cadence in Notis while the review discussion remains in Slack.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Apiflash and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to capture the site with Apiflash and add the chosen reaction to the existing Slack review message when the capture is ready.
  • 4Pick notis_cron and set the review schedule that suits your site.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real site capture and verify the Slack reaction appears on the intended message.

Questions about this workflow

Will this workflow compare the capture with an earlier screenshot?

The available context does not specify a baseline comparison action or event. Supply any comparison instructions and reference material your process needs, or use this workflow as a scheduled review signal.

What does the Slack action do?

It adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a Slack channel, identified by its timestamp.

How do I choose which message gets the reaction?

Describe the intended channel message in your Notis automation instruction and provide the channel and message reference your process uses. The workflow does not create a new Slack message.
