Notis

Mark resolved incidents in Slack

Make closure visible so the team can move on with confidence.

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

Incident threads stay visually ambiguous after the underlying issue is resolved.

  • Make closure easy to scan
  • Reduce stale response activity
  • Improve incident thread hygiene

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Better Stack and Slack in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Resolution Marker.
  • 3Tell Notis to find the matching Slack incident message and add a resolved reaction when Better Stack shows closure.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and report channel.
  • 5Test it with one resolved incident.

Questions about this workflow

Which reaction should be used?

Specify the emoji in your plain language instruction.

What if no matching Slack message exists?

Ask Notis to report the missing match instead of reacting to an unrelated message.
