Mark reviewed form items in Slack
Close the loop on a form review with a quick reaction on the Slack message your team already uses to track it.
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
It can be hard to tell which shared Slack updates have already been checked against incoming form responses.
- Mark a matching Slack message as reviewed without a manual reaction.
- Make the review status visible in the existing conversation.
- Use response details to decide whether a reaction is appropriate.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Byteforms and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify the relevant Slack message and when to add the chosen reaction after reviewing a submission.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real submission and a Slack message with a known channel and timestamp.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow find any Slack message automatically?
The action adds a reaction to a message identified by its channel and timestamp. Your instruction or incoming context must let Notis identify the intended message.
Does the action remove existing reactions?
No. The listed action adds a specified reaction to an existing Slack message.
What information should I provide for a useful test?
Use one real Byteforms submission and a corresponding Slack message whose channel and timestamp are available to the automation.
