Why this helps
Approvals can be easy to miss when they are scattered across replies, emoji, and follow-up messages.
- Give the team a consistent signal for approved billing work.
- Reduce the chance of overlooking an approved request.
- Require complete information before creating the invoice.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Elorus to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to create invoices from a designated Slack reaction.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, name the intended reaction and require explicit approval plus complete client and billing details before creating an invoice.
- 4Select the Slack reaction added trigger, then choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test on one approved message with complete details and verify the invoice.
Questions about this workflow
Does adding any reaction create an invoice?
The instruction should specify one designated reaction and require the message to be an approved, complete billing request.
What happens when the message lacks details?
Have Notis ask for clarification and wait rather than creating an invoice from guesses.
