Make completed conversions visible at a glance
Signal a finished conversion with a reaction on the related Slack message, so teammates can spot progress without another update.
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
People often have to ask whether a conversion finished, even when the related Slack request is already posted.
- Make completion status visible on the existing request.
- Avoid adding another message to an already busy conversation.
- Help collaborators notice finished work while scanning Slack.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CloudConvert and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a Notis automation that adds a selected reaction to the existing Slack message associated with a completed conversion.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and submit the completion signal with the Slack channel and message timestamp.
- 4Choose where Notis run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real conversion and verify the correct message receives the reaction.
Questions about this workflow
Does CloudConvert provide the webhook trigger in this workflow?
No. CloudConvert has no listed trigger events. Your conversion process must start the Notis webhook when an output is ready.
What does the Slack action need to find the message?
It acts on an existing message in a Slack channel, identified by its timestamp. Notis needs the channel and timestamp supplied with the completion signal or available in context.
Can this create a completion message too?
This workflow uses the listed add reaction action. It marks an existing message rather than creating a new one.
