Why this helps
Teams often signal that a question needs attention but still leave someone to remember and complete the lookup.
- Turns an explicit reaction into a clear lookup request.
- Reduces the chance that an endorsed question gets forgotten.
- Returns the inventory to the existing conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Appveyor to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation and explain the agreed reaction and intended project lookup in one prompt.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve Appveyor projects and reply in the reacted-to discussion when that reaction is added.
- 4Select the Slack reaction-added trigger and the appropriate emoji filter, choose a channel for run reports, and test on a real message.
