Why this helps
Important cues buried in a busy discussion are easy to miss or forget to follow up on.
- Use a visible reaction as a lightweight action cue.
- Keep a weather follow-up tied to the original discussion.
- Avoid relying on memory to revisit a station check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ambient Weather to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language which Slack reaction should cue a weather reading lookup.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to interpret the reacted-to message and what Ambient Weather readings to retrieve.
- 4Choose the message reaction added trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real Slack message and the agreed reaction.
