Review a form's items from a Slack reaction
Flag a form discussion and have Notis inspect the actual questions and choices for a focused review.
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 Form Items
This tool retrieves all items (questions) for a specific form using the get https://{server}.formsite.com/api/v2/{user dir}/forms/{form dir}/items endpoint. it is an independent action that only requires the form directory (obtainable via formsite list all forms) to retrieve the structure and details such as item ids, question types, text, answer choices, required status, and other properties.
Why this helps
A request to verify form wording can get lost between acknowledging it and finding time to inspect the form.
- Turn a reaction into a concrete form item review.
- Check questions and answer choices from the identified form.
- Keep form review requests visible in their Slack context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Formsite to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a descriptive name.
- 3Write a single prompt asking Notis to retrieve and summarize items for the form referenced in a message when the chosen reaction is added.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added and configure a channel or emoji filter if supported; choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a reaction on a message naming a form to review.
