Bring CMS Planning Entries into Slack

Use a lightweight planning signal to get the current list into the conversation, ready for the next decision.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Get Content List

Tool to retrieve a list of content items by reference name. use when you need to fetch and page through content list data with optional filtering, sorting, and link expansions.

Why this helps

Planning threads can agree on a next step yet leave someone with the tedious job of locating the right content list.

  • Reduces list hunting after planning decisions.
  • Makes relevant entries visible to the group in context.
  • Helps turn a reaction into a clear information handoff.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Agility CMS to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis which planning reaction and message cues identify the list to retrieve from Agility CMS and how to summarize matching entries.
  • 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger, set the relevant optional emoji or channel filter, and pick a run-report channel.
  • 5Test on a planning message that names the list or content area.

Questions about this workflow
