Why this helps

An active scenario's Slack discussion can get pushed down by newer channel activity.

  • Make a key discussion easier to retrieve.
  • Keep attention on an active scenario.
  • Reduce repeated channel searching.

  • 1Connect Chatfai and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for active scenario tracking.
  • 3Describe how to identify an active scenario discussion and provide the Slack item reference needed for starring.
  • 4Choose a Notis cron schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Run once with one real Slack item reference and verify it was starred.

Questions about this workflow

What kinds of Slack items can be starred?

The action supports a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message. Provide the appropriate item reference in available context.

Will it star every active scenario?

The instruction should define which items qualify and the available context must identify the Slack item to star.
