Highlight Slack decisions supported by search evidence
Make it easier for the team to revisit a decision when relevant web evidence is available.
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
Decisions are hard to revisit when the research that informed them remains separate from the Slack conversation.
- Mark a decision message that has relevant search evidence.
- Keep the decision and discussion in its original context.
- Make useful research easier to spot during later review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Autom and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the search, what counts as relevant evidence, and how to find the decision message.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and have your caller start it when evidence should be checked.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real search and an accessible Slack decision message.
Questions about this workflow
Does a reaction confirm that the decision is correct?
No. A reaction only highlights a message according to the criteria you specify. Teammates should review the underlying sources.
Can it mark a decision if no message is found?
No reaction can be added without an accessible target message. Describe a fallback in your instruction if the matching message is unavailable.
