Make final review easier to start
A ready-for-review signal can create a concise PDF with the context already in the thread.
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
Reviewers have to reconstruct the request and status before they can give useful feedback.
- Give reviewers a compact starting point.
- Preserve the request context alongside the review handoff.
- Reduce repeated status explanations.
Setup

- 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 review brief from the reacted-to message and thread only when the chosen review reaction is added.
- 4Choose the Slack reaction added trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real deliverable thread marked ready for review.
