Keep priority Slack conversations easy to find
When a Baserow record marks an item as a priority and includes a Slack message reference, Notis can star the linked message for quick access.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Important Slack context gets buried while its related priority record remains elsewhere.
- Make priority conversations easier to revisit.
- Tie the starred item to a record that identifies its importance.
- Skip manual searches for the referenced Slack message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Baserow and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to find priority records and star the Slack message referenced by each record.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real priority record linked to a Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
What does a record need to include?
It needs a priority signal and the Slack channel and message timestamp for the message to star.
Can this star a channel instead of a message?
The action supports starring Slack items, including messages and channels. This workflow uses the message reference from each record.
