Why this helps
Reviewers approve in Discord but someone still has to repeat the action in Coupa.
- Shorten approval turnaround
- Reduce duplicate actions
- Keep a clear report of the decision
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Coupa in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Discord reaction approves Coupa.
- 3Tell Notis to verify the reactor and referenced approval, then approve it only when the configured approval reaction is used.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real approval request.
Questions about this workflow
Can any reaction approve an item?
