Flag a message, get the FreshBooks project context beside it
When a message clearly matters to a billable decision, tap your reaction and Notis pulls the FreshBooks project list into the thread. The context lands exactly where the decision is being made, so nothing gets lost across tabs.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
List Projects
Tool to list all projects for a business. use after confirming the business id.
Why this helps
Important billing-related messages get buried, and the context you need to act on them lives in a separate tool entirely.
- Bring billing context to the exact message that needs it
- Keep decisions and their project data together
- Flag with a tap instead of switching tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and FreshBooks to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Open Automations in the portal and choose New Automation.
- 3Write the prompt: when I flag a message with my chosen reaction, list my FreshBooks projects and reply in the thread.
- 4Select the reaction-added trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5React to a real message to confirm the project context appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use a different emoji than my other reaction automations?
Yes. Emoji filtering lets each reaction automation respond to its own dedicated emoji.
Does it reply in the thread?
You can describe replying in the thread in your prompt so the context stays with the flagged message.
