Turn a category approval into an Expofp update

Trigger

Action
Add Category

Why this helps
Approved small updates can sit unnoticed when someone has to remember to return to Expofp later.
- Use a visible team signal to start an approved update.
- Reduce follow-up reminders for straightforward category requests.
- Keep the decision and resulting run report connected to team context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Expofp to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to add the approved category to the matching expo when the designated reaction is added.
- 4Select the Slack reaction-added trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one real approved category.
