Make a research reaction start the next step
Let a familiar team reaction turn a promising idea into a focused web search.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
SERP Search
Tool to perform serp (search engine results page) searches across different search engines. use when you need to retrieve search results, trending topics, or competitive analysis data.
Why this helps
Teams can mark ideas for follow-up with reactions, then forget to turn those signals into actual research.
- Give a lightweight reaction a useful next step.
- Keep research requests attached to their original message.
- Avoid relying on a separate reminder to revisit every marked idea.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Brightdata to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to search the web for the topic of a message when the agreed research reaction is added.
- 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger and set the run-report channel.
- 5Add the reaction to one relevant message to test the search.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use a specific emoji?
The Slack trigger supports optional emoji filtering. Describe the agreed reaction in the instruction and select the matching trigger option if available.
Does the reaction itself contain the search topic?
No. The search topic should come from the message associated with the reaction.
