Turn a clear approval reaction into a CRM update
When a teammate reacts with your chosen approval emoji, Notis can use the original message to locate and update the relevant Folk company.

Why this helps
A team agrees on an update in Slack, but nobody knows who will remember to enter it in the CRM.
- Make the approval signal visible and lightweight
- Reduce uncertainty about whether a proposed change is final
- Carry agreed updates into the matching company record
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Folk to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to apply approved Slack company updates to Folk.
- 3Write one instruction defining the approval emoji, requiring a clear company identifier and explicit update details, and telling Notis to skip ambiguous requests.
- 4Select the Slack message reaction added trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by reacting to one real proposed update and verify the correct Folk company changed.
