Turn a Slack reaction into a Detrack search

Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Search

Why this helps
Remembering to come back to a delivery question later can mean it disappears in a busy channel.
- Use a familiar reaction to flag a message for a lookup.
- Reduce the chance that a delivery question gets buried.
- Keep the search anchored to the original message context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Detrack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to search Detrack when you add the agreed reaction to a Slack message containing delivery details.
- 3Select the Slack Message Reaction Added trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test by reacting to a real message with a searchable delivery reference.
