Trigger

Action
Store Data in Key-Value Store

Why this helps
Research notes approved in chat can be hard to retrieve later if no one saves a durable copy.
- Save an approved structured snapshot for later retrieval.
- Keep a lightweight approval step before persisting findings.
- Reduce the chance that useful research stays only in a chat thread.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Apify to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to store approved research snapshots in Apify.
- 3Describe the approval reaction, record content, and destination store in one instruction.
- 4Choose the Slack reaction-added trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one approved finding and verify the key-value record.
