Acknowledge Aryn analysis in its Slack thread
Close the loop on an analysis request with a small signal in the conversation that started it.
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 request can remain looking unfinished in Slack even after its analysis has been completed elsewhere.
- Show that an analysis request has been handled.
- Keep the acknowledgment in the original conversation.
- Reduce status-check messages.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Aryn and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to react to the original Slack request when an Aryn analysis result is ready and the request message coordinates are available.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one completed analysis and its original Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook need Slack message details?
Yes, to react to a particular message it must include or make available the channel and timestamp.
Does a reaction contain the analysis result?
No. It is a lightweight acknowledgment. Share the report or its reference separately if teammates need the result.
Can the reaction be customized?
Yes. Specify the emoji in the instruction, using an emoji supported by the Slack workspace.
