Bring an open story thread back into view
Put a light visual nudge on a story discussion that still needs attention, without writing another follow-up message.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Open creative threads can fade from view when other work fills the channel.
- Make a specified open thread visible again.
- Use a lightweight reaction as a follow-up cue.
- Keep the reminder attached to the existing discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Chatfai and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for open story nudges.
- 3Describe how to identify an open story thread and provide its Slack channel, message timestamp, and desired reaction through accessible context.
- 4Choose a Notis cron schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Run once with a real open thread reference and check the reaction.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer which Slack message belongs to a story thread?
Only if the needed relationship and message reference are available in connected context or supplied by you. The action requires a channel and message timestamp.
Will this send a follow-up message?
No. This workflow adds the specified reaction to an existing Slack message.
