Notis

Mark tagged work in the Slack conversation

Use one simple signal to make a priority workstream easier to recognize.

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

Tagged tasks can be prioritized in Checkvist while their related Slack discussion remains hard to pick out.

  • Make a chosen workstream recognizable in conversation.
  • Avoid repeated status messages for the same signal.
  • Tie task organization to team communication.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Checkvist and Slack once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find the Slack message related to a Checkvist task with the chosen tag and add the specified reaction.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one tagged task and its related Slack message.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a Slack message?

No. It adds a reaction to an existing message, so the instruction needs a reliable way to find that message.

Can I choose a reaction?

Yes. Name the emoji reaction in the instruction.
