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 Role
Tool to retrieve details of a specific role. use when you need to inspect permissions and metadata of a role by id.
Why this helps
A role question may be acknowledged with a reaction but still require someone to remember the lookup and report back.
- Turns an explicit acknowledgement into a useful lookup.
- Reduces the chance of forgetting a role-detail follow-up.
- Keeps the result beside the message that needs it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Appveyor to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create and name the automation in the portal.
- 3Write one prompt explaining that the agreed reaction on a message with a named role should fetch and summarize that Appveyor role's details.
- 4Select the Slack reaction-added trigger and matching emoji, choose a channel for run reports, and test with a real role question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the role?
No. It retrieves the role's details without modifying Appveyor.
What makes the workflow useful?
The reacting teammate signals that the named-role question needs a lookup, and Notis returns the result in the discussion.
