Make an urgent reaction prompt action

Add your agreed urgent reaction to a Slack message and send its key details by SMS to the person who needs to respond.

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 SMS Messages

Tool to send one or more SMS messages via ClickSend. Use when you need to send SMS messages to recipients. Supports up to 1000 messages per API call and provides detailed status for each message.

Why this helps

Urgent requests often lack a consistent signal, leaving people to scan long Slack threads for what needs attention.

  • Use one familiar reaction as a lightweight request for follow-up.
  • Bring the original message context into a direct notification.
  • Avoid repeatedly checking a thread for acknowledgment.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and ClickSend to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to text the owner when a designated Slack reaction is added.
  • 3Describe the chosen reaction, intended recipient, and concise message content in one instruction.
  • 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger, set a channel for run reports, and test on a real message.

Questions about this workflow

Can I use a particular emoji?

Yes. Name the reaction in the instruction and select the Slack reaction-added trigger.

Will removing the reaction send a message too?

No. This workflow uses the reaction-added trigger only.
