Why this helps
Remembering to follow through on a useful conversation often means holding another reminder in your head.
- Turn a visible reaction into a cue for a goal review.
- Keep the review connected to the message you marked.
- Avoid creating a separate reminder for this check-in.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Beeminder to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve active goals when your chosen reaction marks a Slack message for review.
- 4Select the message reaction added trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by adding that reaction to a real Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use this with any reaction?
The trigger supports optional channel and emoji filtering. Choose the reaction that best signals a goal review.
Does the reaction update my Beeminder progress?
