Refresh an approved Faraday cohort from Slack
Let a consistent reaction signal the team is ready for a cohort rebuild, without another manual follow-up.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Force Update Cohort
Tool to trigger a rerun for a cohort. Use when you need to force rebuild a cohort's data.
Why this helps
Cohort refreshes can sit idle after a decision because approval and execution happen in separate places.
- Turn a lightweight approval into a concrete refresh request.
- Reduce follow-up messages after a team decision.
- Keep the approval context attached to the Slack message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Faraday to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to configure it conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to force-update the referenced Faraday cohort when the agreed approval reaction is added to a message.
- 4Select the Slack message-reaction-added trigger, set the intended channel and emoji in the trigger if available, and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real approval reaction on a message identifying the cohort.
Questions about this workflow
Can a reaction identify which cohort to refresh?
The Slack message should identify the intended cohort clearly, and the instruction should ask Notis to resolve that reference before updating.
Can the trigger be limited to an emoji and channel?
The reaction trigger supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
