- Make a reaction a clear cue for template discovery.
- Avoid a separate reminder to check the catalogue.
- Help document needs move forward with less mental tracking.

- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction specifying which reaction-marked request should prompt a template list.
- 3Select the Slack message reaction added trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test by adding the selected reaction to one real document request.
