Why this helps
Approved ideas often stall while someone copies scattered context into a formal proposal.
- Moves an approved idea into a usable document quickly.
- Keeps the proposal tied to its Slack discussion.
- Avoids a manual copy and formatting pass.

- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis what should happen when a message gets your approval reaction.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to draft a proposal document using the reacted-to message and relevant conversation context.
- 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger, select the approval emoji if desired, and choose a run-report channel.
