Why this helps

When a discussion needs email evidence, searching the inbox manually breaks concentration.

  • Turns a deliberate reaction into a lookup request.
  • Uses message context to guide the email search.
  • Returns inbox results without requiring a separate manual search.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Agent mail to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3Tell Notis to list relevant Agent mail messages when the chosen lookup reaction is added to a channel message, using the message topic as search context.
  • 4Select the Slack reaction added trigger, set the reaction filter if available, and choose a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with a real message that has a clear email-search topic.

Questions about this workflow

Will any reaction start a search?

Use the trigger's optional emoji filter to reserve this workflow for a designated lookup reaction.

What happens if the message topic is unclear?

The report can note that more search context is needed instead of returning an unrelated result.
