Triage website alerts with a Slack reaction
Give a website alert a quick visual status. Notis can use a webhook request to run a BrowseAI check and react to the relevant Slack message when the returned findings meet your instruction.
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
Alerts can blend into a busy channel, making it hard to spot which website updates need attention.
- Make qualifying alerts easier to spot in a channel.
- Use a lightweight signal for a clearly stated review outcome.
- Keep reaction decisions grounded in returned BrowseAI findings.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BrowseAI and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to run the requested BrowseAI check and add a specified reaction to the identified existing Slack message only when the returned findings meet your stated condition.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real check and an existing Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Slack message?
No. This workflow adds a reaction to an existing message identified in the request or otherwise available to the automation.
What if the request does not identify a message?
The automation needs an accessible channel and message timestamp to add a reaction. Include enough information to identify the message.
Can Notis apply a reaction based on a missing baseline?
Only if the required comparison information is available. Supply the baseline or use a condition that can be evaluated from the returned findings.
