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

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.
