Keep beta cohorts current with less manual upkeep
Use a clear team signal in Slack to update an Amplitude beta cohort, so invite lists need less manual reconciliation.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Update Amplitude Cohort Membership
Incrementally update cohort membership by adding or removing ids. this action allows you to: - add new ids to an existing cohort - remove ids from an existing cohort - perform multiple operations in a single request
Why this helps
Approved beta users can get missed when cohort changes depend on someone remembering to update them later.
- Move a clear approval signal into cohort maintenance.
- Reduce manual list updates after beta decisions.
- Keep eligibility changes closer to the conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Amplitude to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to update a named Amplitude cohort when a chosen reaction marks a beta user as approved.
- 3Choose Slack Message Reaction Added and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real approved beta example and verify cohort membership in Amplitude.
Questions about this workflow
What user identifier is needed?
The instruction should specify how to identify the user from the Slack context and which identifier the cohort expects.
Can it also remove members?
The action supports adding and removing IDs; describe the intended membership change explicitly.
