Why this helps
Review context stays buried in Slack and is hard to find when someone later works on the same subtitle set.
- Preserve relevant review context alongside the subtitle set.
- Reduce repeated questions about previous caption decisions.
- Make handoffs easier when work resumes later.

- 1Connect Slack and Amara to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to add a clearly identified caption review note from Slack to the related Amara subtitle set.
- 3Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose where run reports appear.
- 4Test with one real review note and a subtitle set whose notes URI is available.
