Why this helps
Requests to locate a task can disappear in conversation before anyone searches for the right card.
- Makes a task-lookup request actionable with a visible signal.
- Uses the message as context for the Trello search.
- Helps prevent small retrieval tasks from slipping through.

- 1Connect Slack and Api labz to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to search Trello for the task described in a message when the agreed reaction is added.
- 3Select Message Reaction Added, optionally filter by channel or emoji, and choose the run-report channel.
- 4Test by reacting to one real task lookup request and review the results.
