Refresh node health from an existing Slack update

If an old node update needs a fresh check, react to it and let Notis retrieve the current Beaconchain health state.

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 status message can age quickly, leaving people unsure whether it still reflects the live node.

  • Request a new health check from an existing update.
  • Distinguish current information from stale context.
  • Keep the refreshed status in the same discussion.

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 retrieves current Beaconchain node health when the selected reaction is added to a Slack node-status message and replies in the conversation.
  • 3Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a run-report channel and test by reacting to a real node update.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow edit the original Slack message?

The prompt can ask Notis to reply in the discussion. The available action checks Beaconchain health and does not edit Slack messages.

Why react to an old update?

The reaction can signal that the team wants a fresh check rather than relying on the earlier status.
