Start Cutt.ly link follow-up from a Slack reaction

One agreed reaction can cue a short link lookup and make the next step easier to pick up.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

View Last Shortened URLs

This action retrieves a list of recently shortened urls from your cutt.ly account. it allows users to view their latest shortened links and their details. note: due to api limitations, this action may not return all historical urls. for complete history, please use the cutt.ly dashboard.

Why this helps

A request buried in chat can slip past when link research has to be restarted from memory later.

  • Creates a repeatable cue for link follow-up.
  • Reduces the need to remember a separate dashboard task.
  • Keeps the latest URL information near the triggering message.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Cutt.ly to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
  • 3Use one instruction to retrieve recent Cutt.ly URLs and prepare a follow-up when the agreed reaction is added.
  • 4Select the reaction-added Slack trigger, set an emoji filter if useful, and choose the run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one real message and the agreed reaction.
