Make vehicle review status visible in Slack

Give a reviewed vehicle message a quick visual status marker so the team can scan the conversation faster.

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 status buried in replies is easy to miss when people return to a vehicle decision later.

  • Make the review state easier to scan in a conversation.
  • Reduce repeated questions about whether a lookup was reviewed.
  • Keep the status attached to the relevant Slack message.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect CarsXE and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: after reviewing the CarsXE result, add the agreed reaction to the specified Slack message only when the review condition is met.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with a real lookup and message timestamp, then confirm the reaction reflects the intended status.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow decide whether a vehicle is approved?

No approval should be inferred unless you define the review criteria and provide the needed information. The reaction should only reflect the outcome actually established.

What does Slack need to add the reaction?

The Slack action requires the message's channel and timestamp, plus the chosen emoji. Include those details in the run context or prompt.
