Turn a Slack price reaction into a rate check

Use a reaction your team already recognizes to bring current currency context to a price that needs attention.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

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

Action

Get Latest Exchange Rates

Tool to get real-time exchange rate data for all available or specified currencies. use when you need current forex rates before performing currency conversions.

Why this helps

A price worth reviewing can get buried in a busy channel once the initial conversation moves on.

  • Use a familiar team signal to prompt a rate lookup.
  • Bring a flagged price back into view with current context.
  • Reduce the need to remember a separate lookup after reacting.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Fixer to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to check foreign-currency prices when a team member reacts to the message.
  • 3Write one plain-language prompt asking for the latest Fixer rate relevant to the reacted-to price.
  • 4Select the Slack message reaction added trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test by reacting to one real price message.
