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.
