Turn useful Discord reactions into a search for context
When a message draws a reaction, find the indexed material that may help the team act on it.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
Reactions can signal that a message matters, but the context needed to respond may live outside the conversation.
- Use reactions as a signal to gather related context.
- Help teammates investigate notable messages faster.
- Keep follow-up grounded in indexed documents.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for reaction-based context searches.
- 3Tell Notis to search the relevant Elasticsearch index using the reacted-to message and summarize related documents.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger and select a report destination.
- 5Test with a real reaction on a message that has relevant indexed context.
Questions about this workflow
Can I trigger only for a particular emoji?
The listed event is triggered when a reaction is added. Filtering options are not specified here, so do not assume an emoji filter is available.
Does this add a reaction or reply?
No. The workflow searches Elasticsearch and reports findings; the available actions do not modify Discord.
