Make a tree reaction a cue to check Ecologi trees
A tree reaction can be your team's simple signal to fetch the current count of trees funded through Ecologi.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Get User Trees
Tool to get the total number of trees a user has funded on Ecologi. Use when you need to retrieve tree statistics for a specific user. Data refreshes every 10 minutes.
Why this helps
Small team milestones are easy to celebrate but harder to connect to a current, verified tree count.
- Use a familiar reaction as a low-effort prompt.
- Retrieve the current Ecologi tree total for the run report.
- Keep the milestone tied to the Slack message that prompted it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ecologi to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the Ecologi tree total when a tree emoji reaction is added and include the count in the run report.
- 4Choose Message Reaction Added, optionally specify the tree emoji, and select a report channel.
- 5Test by adding the chosen reaction to one Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
Can the reaction itself plant a tree?
No. The Ecologi action available here reads the funded tree total and does not make a purchase.
Can I limit this to one Slack channel?
You can describe the intended channel in your automation instruction and use the trigger's optional channel filter if available.
