Flag urgent Blooio messages in Slack

Make urgent conversations stand out instantly for the people who can act.

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

High priority requests look like ordinary messages until someone notices them too late.

  • Surface urgent work faster
  • Use a shared visual signal
  • Reduce missed escalations

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Blooio and Slack in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Blooio urgency flag.
  • 3Tell Notis to assess the Blooio payload for urgency and react to the specified Slack message when action is needed.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and provide the Slack channel and message timestamp in the request.
  • 5Choose a Slack report channel, then test with one urgent example.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a new Slack message?

No. It adds the selected emoji reaction to an existing Slack message identified by channel and timestamp.

What if the webhook has no urgency details?

Notis can use the message text supplied in the payload, or leave the message unchanged when urgency cannot be established.
