Get transfer totals from a Slack reaction
Mark a complete request with your chosen reaction to calculate total token movement for the asset and period under discussion.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Sum Metric
Tool to calculate the sum of a specified field's values across defined dimensions. use when you need to aggregate total values in a dataset.
Why this helps
A useful aggregate can sit in a thread waiting for someone to repeat its details in a separate analytics tool.
- Move a clearly scoped request into analysis with one reaction.
- Aggregate amounts without manual addition.
- Preserve the original time window and asset context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bitquery to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis to sum transfers after a designated reaction.
- 3Use one instruction: When the chosen reaction is added to a Slack message requesting total token transfer volume and naming the network, token, and period, query Bitquery with the sum metric and report the aggregate and its scope.
- 4Choose Message Reaction Added, set optional emoji or channel filtering, and select a report channel.
- 5Test by reacting to a real, complete transfer total request.
Questions about this workflow
What does the sum action calculate?
It totals a specified field over the query's defined dimensions.
Does the reaction itself provide the query details?
Not necessarily. The reacted-to message should state the network, token, period, and amount or measure requested.
Can this produce a unique wallet count too?
This workflow sums transfer values. A distinct count is a separate metric for unique values.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Bitquery. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Bitquery actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Aliases Metric
Tool to use graphql aliases to rename fields in the response for clarity and disambiguation. use when you need to query multiple metrics with identical field names in one call.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Archive Database Query
Tool to query the archive database. use when you need full historical blockchain data (delayed by tens of minutes to hours).
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Combined Database Query
Tool to query the combined database, which merges archive and real-time databases. use when you need both historical and up-to-the-second blockchain data in one request.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Conditional Metrics Snippet
Tool to generate a graphql metric snippet with conditional logic. use when you need to apply filters directly on metric calculations via the `if` attribute.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Count Distinct Metric
Tool to use the count distinct metric to aggregate unique values for a field. use when you need to count the number of unique occurrences in a dataset.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Count Metric
Tool to use the count metric to aggregate the number of records matching a graphql query. use when you need simple record counts.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Database Selection
Tool to select the database (archive, realtime, combined) to query at the top level of a graphql request. use after determining whether you need live, historical, or combined blockchain data.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Early Access Program Query
Tool to access streaming data across various blockchain networks for evaluation purposes. use when querying chains not available via the v2 endpoint; limited to real-time data only.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Slack and Bitquery, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
