Why this helps
Teams can discuss a needed workspace and approve it without anyone clearly owning the final setup step.
- Makes the team's approval signal actionable.
- Separates discussion from requests that are ready to set up.
- Saves a manual handoff after approval.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Docupilot to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and write one plain-language instruction describing the approved reaction and folder request it applies to.
- 3Ask Notis to create the requested Docupilot folder only when that reaction is added to a message with a clear folder request.
- 4Select Slack Message Reaction Added and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding the agreed reaction to one real folder-request message.
