Turn proposal approval into a finished document
A clear approval reaction can prompt Notis to format the referenced proposal as a PDF, ready for review and distribution.
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 Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
Approved proposals can linger in chat without a dependable, presentable copy for stakeholders.
- Use a simple reaction as a completion signal.
- Preserve the proposal in a shareable format.
- Avoid manually copying approved text into a document.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and DocRaptor to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to create a proposal PDF when you add your chosen approval reaction.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction how Notis should identify the proposal message and format it.
- 4Choose the Slack message reaction added trigger and a run-report channel; test by reacting to a real proposal.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger fire on every reaction?
It can be configured with an optional channel and emoji filter; the instruction should also describe the approval intent.
Can it use the whole discussion?
Ask Notis to include relevant thread context when preparing the proposal document.
