Why this helps
A question raised in Slack can be forgotten while you search for the account information needed to answer it.
- Capture a context request right where it appears.
- Retrieve available Beeminder user information for the follow-up.
- Keep the lookup tied to the marked Slack message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Beeminder to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to retrieve Beeminder user information when your selected reaction marks a request for context.
- 4Choose the message reaction added trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding the chosen reaction to a real context request.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose the reaction that starts the lookup?
Yes. The trigger supports optional emoji filtering, so choose a reaction that clearly signals a context request.
Does the lookup post a reply on the marked message?
The configured run-report channel is where Notis reports runs. The available action does not add a Slack reply.
