Request an Apilio numeric review with a Slack reaction

Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Get Numeric Variables
Tool to fetch all numeric variables. use after authenticating the apilio api.
Why this helps
A number worth checking can get lost between the original message and a later manual lookup.
- Mark a numeric review request directly on a message.
- Keep the follow-up connected to its original context.
- Make it easier to return to a value that needs attention.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Apilio to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or describe the reaction-based lookup to Notis.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to retrieve and summarize Apilio numeric variables when you add the chosen reaction to a message.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger, set the relevant emoji filter if available, and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test by reacting to a message that calls for a numeric check.
