Make published launches easy to spot
Give an important publishing milestone a quick visual marker in the Slack conversation where your team is coordinating.
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
Launch updates can disappear in busy Slack channels, making it harder for teammates to notice the milestone.
- Highlight the existing launch conversation
- Avoid creating a duplicate update message
- Let the request specify the message and reaction
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BulkPublish and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to add the chosen emoji reaction to the Slack message identified in the incoming request.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real launch request containing a valid Slack channel, message timestamp and emoji.
