Move Approved Content Discussions Forward
Use a clear reaction as the cue to bring the current item details back into the handoff thread.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added

Action
Get Content Item
Tool to fetch details of a content item by content id. use when you need item fields and metadata from agility cms.
Why this helps
After a review decision, someone still has to retrieve the item details for the next person, and that handoff can be missed.
- Connects an agreed reaction to a useful follow-up.
- Reduces manual retrieval after a review decision.
- Gives the next person current CMS context in the thread.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Agility CMS to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to build it conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction explaining which approval reaction identifies a CMS item discussion and asking Notis to fetch and summarize that item.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger, with the agreed channel and emoji filter if available, then choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test by adding the agreed reaction to a real message that identifies an item.
