Acknowledge card review updates with one Slack reaction
Let a CardClan review update prompt a simple reaction on the relevant Slack message when the webhook includes its channel and timestamp.
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
Review handoffs can create extra messages and make it harder to see which shared update has already been acknowledged.
- Mark a relevant Slack message with a lightweight acknowledgement
- Avoid adding another message to a busy conversation
- Use only the message reference and reaction supplied for the workflow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CardClan and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation for acknowledging card review updates.
- 3Tell Notis to add the specified emoji reaction to the Slack message identified in the webhook request.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review example containing the Slack channel, message timestamp, and chosen emoji.
Questions about this workflow
What must the webhook include?
It must provide the Slack channel and timestamp identifying an existing message, plus the emoji to use. The action adds a reaction; it does not find or remove reactions.
Can this react to a message that is not in Slack?
No. The request must identify an existing Slack message that the connected account can access.
