Mark relevant research threads from Autom findings
Connect a research result to the Slack discussion it belongs in, with a simple reaction that keeps the context in place.
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
Research and team conversations split apart, so people may miss a finding that answers an open question.
- Make a matching discussion easier to notice.
- Keep the original messages and replies together.
- Use Autom results to focus attention on an existing conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Autom and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the search, how to identify a matching Slack message, and when to react.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and have your caller start research when needed.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with a real finding and a Slack conversation that is available to the connected account.
Questions about this workflow
Does it post the research into the thread?
No. This action adds a reaction to an existing message. Choose a message-posting workflow if you want the findings written into Slack.
What if there is no matching message?
Describe what the automation should do when it cannot identify an accessible matching message. Do not assume it can react without a channel and message timestamp.
