Turn a Slack approval reaction into a document check
A familiar reaction can cue a Boloforms list check at the moment the team signals readiness.
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 Documents List
Tool to retrieve a list of documents associated with the account. use when you need to list all documents.
Why this helps
After a team signals approval, someone still has to remember to open the document tool and check what is available.
- Use a visible team signal to prompt the next document lookup.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering a separate check.
- Keep the check tied to the message that established readiness.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Boloforms to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language prompt to retrieve the Boloforms document list when the chosen Slack approval reaction is added.
- 3Choose the Slack message reaction added trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 4Test by adding the reaction to a real approval message.
