Notis

Capture work with a Slack reaction

When a message needs action, mark it with your chosen reaction and let Notis put it into Dart.

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 Task

Tool to create a new task in DART with title and optional metadata. Use when you need to add a task to a workspace.

Why this helps

Copying a useful message into a task manager adds friction right when you are trying to stay in the conversation.

  • Capture a task with one familiar Slack gesture.
  • Choose when a message becomes work instead of scanning every post.
  • Keep the original conversation available as context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Dart to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3In one instruction, say which reaction marks a message for a new Dart task and what context to include.
  • 4Choose the Slack reaction-added trigger and a report channel, then test by reacting to one real message.

Questions about this workflow

Can I choose the reaction that starts task capture?

Yes. Name the reaction in your instruction and use the corresponding Slack reaction trigger.

Will this run when a reaction is removed?

No. This workflow starts when a reaction is added.
