Mark feedback discussions for follow-up in Slack
Add a visible reaction to the relevant Slack message when a feedback discussion needs another look.
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
A useful feedback discussion can disappear in a busy channel before anyone records the next step.
- Make a relevant feedback discussion easier to find.
- Use a lightweight marker without posting a duplicate summary.
- Act only when the webhook supplies the message reference.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canny and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to add your chosen reaction to the Slack message identified in the request when its supplied Canny feedback context calls for follow-up.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action create a new Slack message?
No. It adds a reaction to an existing message identified by its channel and timestamp.
What if the webhook does not include a Slack message reference?
The action needs an existing message reference. Include the required channel and timestamp in the request before this workflow can act.
