Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action

Why this helps
A team may agree to follow up in chat, then lose track of which lead was approved for a call.
- Use an existing team signal to start follow-up.
- Avoid a separate reminder to enter an approved call.
- Keep the approval attached to the original Slack context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Callingly to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis to create a Callingly outbound call when the agreed reaction is added to a Slack lead message.
- 3Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test by adding the agreed reaction to a real lead message with contact details.
Questions about this workflow
Can the trigger use a specific reaction?
The Slack reaction trigger supports optional channel and emoji filtering. Describe the intended signal when setting up the automation.
What if the message does not contain a phone number?
