Flag Slack threads that need Aryn review
Make pending review requests easier to spot without adding another status message.
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
Open document reviews blend into channel activity, so teams can lose sight of the ones still awaiting attention.
- Surface outstanding review work in the original conversation.
- Use a lightweight signal that is easy to scan.
- Avoid repetitive status updates.
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 find Aryn documents still awaiting review and react to the related Slack message when its channel and timestamp are available.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pending review and verify the reaction target.
Questions about this workflow
How is an item considered pending?
Define the review status in your instruction and ensure Aryn returns that status in the data Notis can access.
Can this react to a Slack thread reply?
It can react to a specific message when the correct channel and timestamp are provided.
What if there is no matching Slack message?
The workflow should report or skip the item rather than react to an unrelated message.
