Capture current-rate requests with a reaction
Mark a currency question with a reaction and get the latest rates needed to move the conversation forward.
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 Rates
Tool to retrieve the most recent exchange rates. Use when you need current currency conversion rates for all or specified currencies.
Why this helps
When a message gets a quick acknowledgment, the actual rate lookup can be lost among other tasks.
- Use a clear visual signal to request a rate lookup.
- Retrieve current rates for the currencies discussed.
- Keep follow-up work attached to the message that prompted it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Fixer io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to retrieve latest rates for messages marked with a chosen reaction.
- 3Write one instruction that says how to identify the currency pair from the reacted-to message.
- 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger, use its optional emoji or channel filter if useful, choose a report channel, and test on a real message.
Questions about this workflow
Will any reaction trigger the lookup?
