Request a Formsite results check with a reaction
Mark a message for follow-up with a reaction and let Notis check the referenced form's latest results.
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 Results
This tool retrieves the latest form results from a specified formsite form. it uses the get https://{server}.formsite.com/api/v2/results/latest endpoint to fetch results independently, handling required parameters such as form id, limit, page, and sort direction without referring to external resource ids.
Why this helps
A request buried in a conversation may be easy to miss when it's time to check submissions.
- Use a visible reaction to flag a results check without writing another message.
- Keep the original request as context for identifying the form.
- Reduce separate reminders for pending submission checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Formsite to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a clear name and one plain-language instruction.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve and summarize latest Formsite results for the form referenced by a message when it receives the chosen reaction.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger, configure the desired channel or emoji if supported, and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding the reaction to a real message that identifies a form.
Questions about this workflow
Does a reaction identify a form by itself?
No. The referenced message needs enough context for Notis to identify the Formsite form.
Can this reaction trigger create a form?
No. The selected action retrieves recent results.

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.
