Mark audio for transcription with a Slack reaction
A reaction can be a lightweight way to flag an audio link for transcription when you do not want to stop and write a separate request.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Transcribe Pre-recorded Audio
Tool to transcribe pre-recorded audio files into text. use when you need to convert an audio file at a url to text after confirming the file url is publicly accessible.
Why this helps
Audio links are easy to forget when you are moving quickly through Slack.
- Capture the intent to transcribe with a familiar Slack gesture.
- Create text for recordings you deliberately flag.
- Avoid adding another manual transcription request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Deepgram to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to transcribe the public audio URL in a reacted-to Slack message with Deepgram.
- 4Select the message reaction added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by adding the chosen reaction to a message with a real public audio link.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose which reaction starts the workflow?
Describe the intended reaction in the plain-language automation instruction. The available trigger supports optional emoji filtering.
What if the message has no audio link?
The instruction should limit the workflow to messages with an accessible audio URL, so unrelated reactions do not prompt audio work.
