Use a Slack reaction to check recommendations
Let a reaction capture the team's intent to check a popularity signal, while Notis handles the lookup from the message context.
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 Island Recommendations
Tool to retrieve the count of player recommendations for an island. Use when you need recommendation metrics over a given interval.
Why this helps
Without a clear follow-up cue, a quick agreement to check recommendations can vanish as the conversation moves on.
- Turn a chosen reaction into a lightweight follow-up signal.
- Retrieve the recommendation count linked to the message's island code.
- Keep the outcome available without tracking it manually.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Epic games to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to retrieve island recommendations after a selected reaction.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to use the reacted-to message's island code and interval and return the recommendation count.
- 4Select the Slack message reaction added trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding the selected reaction to a real island request.
