Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Generate Scan Link
Tool to generate a CodeREADr scan link URI. Use when you want to open the CodeREADr app’s scanner pre-filled with a specific ID.
Why this helps
Turning a confirmed item into a usable scan link can require a separate step that is easy to forget.
- Use a simple reaction as a readiness signal.
- Generate a scan link using the message context.
- Keep the link and execution report close to the team workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and CodeREADr once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to generate a CodeREADr scan link when the agreed reaction is added to a Slack message containing the required ID.
- 4Select the Slack message reaction added trigger, set its emoji or channel options if needed, and choose a reporting channel.
- 5Test by reacting to a message with a valid scan ID.
Questions about this workflow
Does the reaction trigger itself define the barcode ID?
No. The plain-language prompt should tell Notis how to find the ID in the message and what to do if it is missing.
Can it use any emoji?
Choose the team's agreed reaction and configure the trigger's optional emoji filter.
