Trigger

Why this helps
Small approved changes are easy to drop when the signal is visible but the system update is a separate task.
- Connect a clear approval signal to a category update.
- Reduce follow-up work after a team agrees on wording.
- Keep category names current with less task switching.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Expofp to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or by asking Notis to make it conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to update the specified existing category when the team's designated reaction approves a new name.
- 4Choose the Slack reaction-added trigger and report channel, then test with one actual naming approval.
