Move approved scopes into PDF generation
A consistent approval reaction can turn a completed scope discussion into a document handoff.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Create PDF Asynchronously
Tool to queue asynchronous PDF generation via webhook. Use when you need to generate a PDF in the background and receive the result via a webhook.
Why this helps
People lose track of whether a scope is ready to become a shareable document.
- Make the handoff from discussion to document more visible.
- Avoid repeating the same scope details in a separate request.
- Keep the approval signal in the original Slack thread.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Craftmypdf to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to generate a scope PDF from the reacted-to message and its thread only when the approval reaction is used.
- 4Select the Slack reaction added trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding the chosen approval reaction to one real scope thread.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow tell which reaction means approval?
State the reaction and its meaning in the plain-language instruction, and select the relevant reaction trigger.
Will it create a PDF for every reaction?
The instruction should limit generation to the chosen approval signal and relevant scope context.
