Use a Slack reaction to retrieve event details

Mark the planning message and let Notis gather the matching Eventzilla information.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

List Events

Tool to retrieve a list of events associated with your account (supports filtering). use when you need to list or filter events for your organization.

Why this helps

An event idea can get agreement in chat but still require someone to stop and manually find the existing event record.

  • Use a visible reaction as a lightweight lookup signal.
  • Gather event details without asking someone to search manually.
  • Keep the event record connected to the planning conversation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Eventzilla to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with one instruction to use the reacted-to message as context for an Eventzilla event lookup.
  • 3Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports and test by reacting to a real planning message.
