Get Queue Statistics

Why this helps
When a queue concern is mentioned in passing, the check itself can be deferred and forgotten.
- Turn a visible concern into a concrete status check.
- Reduce the chance a processing issue slips past the team.
- Keep the response connected to the flagged message.

- 1Connect Slack and Docsautomator to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to retrieve queue statistics when the designated reaction is added to a Slack message about processing.
- 3Select the message reaction trigger and where to report runs.
- 4Test by adding the chosen reaction to a real queue-related message.
Questions about this workflow
