Notis

Give a flagged help request a useful next step

When a teammate marks a help request with a chosen reaction, Notis can search Api bible for a passage related to the message and share the result.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

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

Action

Search Verses

Tool to search for verses containing a specified query within a version.

Why this helps

Flagged requests can get buried under newer messages before anyone follows through.

  • Create a follow-up cue from a reaction your team already uses.
  • Help flagged requests receive a relevant scripture lookup.
  • Reduce the need to remember and revisit messages manually.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Api bible to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to build it in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search for scripture relevant to the message whenever the chosen help-request reaction is added.
  • 4Select Message Reaction Added and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by adding the chosen reaction to one real help request.

Questions about this workflow

Can this watch for a particular reaction?
