- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the related Slack message and retrieve its reactions for the report.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real incident update that has a known Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action add a reaction?
No. It fetches existing reactions for a Slack message, file, or file comment.
What details are needed to fetch message reactions?
Slack requires the channel and message timestamp for a message. The automation needs sufficient context to identify them.
