Why this helps
Approved ideas can stall because the person who was meant to turn them into a usable form has moved on to other work.
- Turn an agreed process into a concrete collection point promptly.
- Make the reaction a lightweight signal to begin form setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Cabinpanda to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation that creates a Cabinpanda form when the agreed approval reaction is added to a process proposal.
- 3Choose the Slack reaction-added trigger and select the channel for run reports.
- 4Test by adding the agreed reaction to a real or test proposal message.
Questions about this workflow
Can this react to one particular emoji?
The Slack trigger supports optional emoji filtering. The automation instruction can also describe the intended approval signal.
What should the proposal message say?
Include enough context in the message for Notis to understand the proposed process and what the form should collect.
