Use a Slack reaction to prompt a table directory review
A reaction can mark a conversation worth revisiting. Pair it with a Baserow table inventory to make the next lookup easier.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
List Tables in Database
This tool lists all tables within a specified baserow database. it allows users to retrieve information about all tables in a database by using the get /api/database/{database id}/tables/ endpoint. the expected output is an array of table objects containing details such as id, name, order, database id, type, and first row header.
Why this helps
Useful messages can be marked for later, but the follow-up often gets lost among other reactions and reminders.
- Turns a simple reaction into a clear lookup cue.
- Makes table structure available alongside a marked conversation.
- Avoids relying on memory to repeat a manual directory search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Baserow to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to list the relevant Baserow tables when a reaction is added to a Slack message.
- 3Select the message reaction added trigger and choose where to report runs.
- 4Add the chosen reaction to one real message and inspect the report.
