Confirm node health from a Slack reaction
Use a reaction on a readiness message to request a fresh health check, then let Notis share Beaconchain's current node status.
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 Node Health
Tool to get the health status of the node. use when you need to check if the node is ready, syncing, or in an error state.
Why this helps
A readiness message can look like confirmation even when nobody has checked the live node status recently.
- Tie a fresh health check to a visible readiness prompt.
- Keep status confirmation in the existing Slack thread.
- Reduce ambiguity about whether a check has happened.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Beaconchain to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation that checks Beaconchain node health when the chosen reaction is added to a Slack node-readiness message and replies with the result.
- 3Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test by reacting to a real readiness message.
Questions about this workflow
Does adding a reaction mean the node is healthy?
No. The reaction requests a check; Beaconchain's returned status provides the health information.
Can I use a team-specific reaction?
Message Reaction Added supports optional emoji filtering. Set the trigger to the chosen reaction.
