Use a Slack reaction to start a FaceUp statistics lookup
Let a clear reaction signal that a metrics request is ready. Notis queries FaceUp and summarizes the statistics in its run report, with no need to reopen the request.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
FaceUp GraphQL Statistics Query
Tool to execute a graphql query to retrieve faceup statistics. use when you need to fetch or filter metrics (e.g., by date range or school ids).
Why this helps
A request may be discussed before anyone is ready to act, making it hard to tell which message needs a follow-up now.
- Use a visible team signal to start the lookup.
- Reduce ambiguity about which request is ready.
- Keep the response attached to a traceable automation run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and FaceUp to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to query FaceUp statistics when a designated reaction is added to a Slack request.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, describe which reacted-to requests qualify and how to summarize the statistics in the run report.
- 4Select the Slack message reaction added trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding the chosen reaction to one real request for a FaceUp snapshot.
Questions about this workflow
Does a reaction create a FaceUp report?
No. The available FaceUp action queries statistics only. The reaction starts a metrics lookup.
Can the trigger be limited to a reaction?
The Slack reaction trigger supports optional channel and emoji filtering.
