Add a clear review marker to candidate discussions
Make candidate discussions easier to scan by marking an existing Slack message when Ashby information calls for review.
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
Recruiting discussions move quickly, and a message that needs follow-up can disappear in a busy channel.
- Add a visible reaction to a relevant existing Slack message.
- Help the team scan candidate discussions for review items.
- Use Ashby context to decide whether a marker is warranted.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ashby and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Describe the candidate review condition, how to find the relevant Slack message, and which reaction to add.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Ashby candidate and Slack message, then start it with an HTTP request.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a new Slack message?
No. This workflow adds a reaction to an existing Slack message. The relevant channel and message timestamp must be available.
What if the related Slack message cannot be found?
A reaction requires an existing message identified by its channel and timestamp. The workflow needs that information; it cannot react to a message it cannot identify.
How does the workflow start?
Ashby has no listed event triggers here. Send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook to start the automation.
