Mark Apollo lead milestones where the team is talking
When an Apollo lead reaches a meaningful milestone, add a quick reaction to the relevant Slack message so progress is easy to notice.
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 recorded in Apollo can go unseen by teammates discussing the lead in Slack.
- Make a lead milestone visible in an existing Slack conversation.
- Use a lightweight signal instead of adding another status message.
- Keep the reaction tied to a milestone and message supplied in the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apollo and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which Apollo milestone to check and which existing Slack message should receive a reaction.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real milestone and an existing Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow find any Slack message automatically?
The target action requires an existing message's channel and timestamp. Supply enough context in the webhook request or instruction to identify the intended message.
Does this create a new Slack message?
No. It adds a reaction to an existing message.
