Notis

Use a Slack reaction to move an agreed meeting forward

Once the conversation has settled on meeting details, a chosen reaction can tell Notis it is time to prepare the Calendarhero request.

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 Meeting Request V2

Tool to create a new meeting request in calendarhero. use when scheduling a meeting with participants, time range, and additional details.

Why this helps

After a team agrees on a time in chat, the final scheduling step can still get lost in the scrollback.

  • Give the team a simple signal that the details are ready.
  • Avoid creating requests while a meeting is still being discussed.
  • Move an agreed plan into Calendarhero promptly.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Calendarhero to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to create a request only when the chosen reaction marks a message with agreed, complete meeting details.
  • 3Select Message Reaction Added and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test by reacting to one real message with confirmed participants and timing.

Questions about this workflow

Can the reaction alone provide meeting details?

No. The reacted-to message or its conversation needs to contain the participants, timing, and purpose.

Can I choose which reaction means ready?

Describe the intended reaction in the plain-language instruction and use it consistently.
