Keep acknowledged decisions with their Box documents
A reaction can mark a decision as settled. Have Notis preserve the decision as a concise comment on the clearly identified Box file.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Create comment
Adds a comment by the user to a specific file, or as a reply to an other comment.
Why this helps
Teams settle a question in Slack, but the final decision is separated from the document that implements it.
- Keep acknowledged decisions beside the related file.
- Reduce repeat discussions caused by missing context.
- Create a lightweight record of a settled document decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Box to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which reaction acknowledges a decision that should be added to a Box file.
- 3Choose the message reaction added trigger and explain how to identify the decision, file, and concise comment.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with an actual settled decision.
Questions about this workflow
Does the reaction itself explain the decision?
The message should contain the decision; the reaction serves as the signal that it is ready to preserve.
What if a message has no clear file?
Ask Notis to skip it when the related Box file cannot be identified.
