One emoji, your whole FreshBooks project list
You spot a message that raises a billing question, tap a reaction, and Notis pulls your live FreshBooks projects into the thread. It is the lowest-friction way to check your work without breaking flow.

Why this helps
Even a quick project check can pull you out of a Slack conversation and into a dashboard you did not want to open.
- Check your FreshBooks projects with a single emoji tap
- Stay in the conversation instead of opening billing
- Turn a passing thought into an instant, accurate answer
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and FreshBooks to Notis once from the portal.
- 2In the portal, open Automations and choose New Automation.
- 3Write the plain-language prompt: when I add my chosen reaction to a message, list my FreshBooks projects and reply in Slack.
- 4Select the reaction-added trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5React to a real message to confirm the project list appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use a specific emoji?
Yes. The reaction trigger supports filtering by emoji, so you can reserve one just for this.
Do I need to type anything?
No typing needed. The reaction itself is the trigger, so the whole flow is one tap.
