Flag important Archive.org captures in Slack
Make a meaningful Wayback finding visible in the conversation already tracking the page or project.
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 relevant historical capture can be easy to overlook in a busy channel, especially when the team needs to compare what changed.
- Bring a capture review decision back to the Slack thread tracking the work.
- Use a visible reaction as a lightweight attention cue.
- Keep the original conversation available for context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Archive.org and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the capture review workflow.
- 3In one instruction, specify how Notis should assess the supplied Archive.org capture context and which related Slack message should receive a reaction when review is warranted.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real capture and a Slack message, then confirm the reaction signals the intended review state.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
A Notis webhook starts it when an HTTP request is sent. Archive.org does not provide a trigger event here.
How does Notis know which Slack message to react to?
The webhook request or your instruction must provide enough context to identify the related channel and message timestamp.
Does the reaction create a full review record?
No. This action adds a reaction to an existing Slack message. Include findings in a separate Slack message if the team needs a written summary.
