Mark actionable stock alerts in Slack

Give a matching Slack stock alert a clear reaction when the inventory data meets your chosen criteria.

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

Important stock messages can be hard to spot when the team has no quick way to mark them as actionable.

  • Mark a matching Slack message at a glance.
  • Apply criteria from a Boxhero snapshot you submit.
  • Keep the team response attached to the relevant message.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Boxhero and Slack once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis what you want.
  • 3Describe the inventory criteria and the reaction to add to a matching Slack message.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real Slack message and provide its channel and timestamp in the request.

Questions about this workflow

What Slack message details are required?

The action needs the channel and timestamp of the existing message, plus the reaction to add.

Does this create a new stock alert message?

No. This action adds a reaction to an existing Slack message. Use a message-posting workflow to create a new alert.
