Use a reaction to approve a meeting reminder

When the team agrees that a contact should receive a meeting reminder, a designated reaction can pass that task to Calendarhero.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Send Reminder

Tool to send a reminder to a contact about their scheduled meeting. use after confirming the meeting task id to notify participants.

Why this helps

A reminder can be agreed in chat but forgotten while you return to other work.

  • Make reminder approval lightweight and visible.
  • Reduce follow-up tasks that depend on memory.
  • Send a nudge only when the meeting is identified.

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 defining the chosen reaction as approval to remind a contact about the identified meeting.
  • 3Select Message Reaction Added and choose a run-report channel.
  • 4Test on a real message that identifies the scheduled meeting and intended contact.

Questions about this workflow

Does reacting to any meeting message send a reminder?

The instruction should require the chosen reaction plus a clearly identified meeting and contact.

Can the reminder target be inferred from a channel?

Have Notis use a named contact in the message context or ask for clarification.
