Revisit automation building blocks after removing a reaction

A removed marker can be a useful moment to check existing Apilio logicblocks and wrap up a thread with more context.

Trigger

Message Reaction Removed

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

Action

Get Logicblocks

Tool to fetch all logicblocks of a user. use after authenticating with apilio api when you need to list available logicblocks.

Why this helps

Clearing a reminder reaction can leave the underlying automation question unresolved or hard to revisit.

  • Pair a cleared message marker with a relevant inventory check.
  • Keep automation follow-up from disappearing when a reaction is removed.
  • Review existing building blocks before considering the thread done.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Apilio to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally for a review when a chosen reaction is removed.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to retrieve Apilio logicblocks and summarize relevant entries when you remove that reaction.
  • 4Choose Message Reaction Removed as the trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by adding and then removing the chosen reaction from an automation-related message.

Questions about this workflow

Does this determine whether the task is complete?

No. The action retrieves logicblocks for review; interpret the summary alongside the message context.

Can the trigger filter by emoji?

The reaction trigger supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
