Approve Convolo backstory edits with one reaction
When a backstory suggestion is ready, use your team's chosen reaction to move it into Convolo without another reminder.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Update Character Backstory
Tool to update a character's backstory. Use when you need to modify the backstory of an existing character after confirming its ID. Only the provided fields will be updated.
Why this helps
Teams often agree on a change in chat but leave the final edit sitting with whoever remembers it.
- Use an existing reaction habit as a clear handoff.
- Keep tentative suggestions from becoming changes before approval.
- Avoid returning to an old thread to remember the final edit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Convolo ai to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis, and describe which reaction means approved backstory edit plus how to apply the message's requested change.
- 3Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test by reacting to one real message that contains an approved backstory change.
Questions about this workflow
Can the reaction mean something specific?
Yes. State the team's chosen emoji and the approval meaning in the plain-language instruction.
Will it use every reacted-to message?
Tell Notis to proceed only when the message clearly specifies a backstory change for an identifiable character.
