Make reaction-marked Slack messages easier to find

Use a reaction as a lightweight signal that a Slack message belongs in a searchable collection.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Embed Content (Gemini)

Generates text embeddings using gemini embedding models. converts text into numerical vectors for semantic search, similarity comparison, clustering, and classification tasks.

Why this helps

Useful examples and decisions can be difficult to find later when they remain scattered across Slack.

  • Create semantic representations of selected messages.
  • Use a reaction to signal which messages matter.
  • Support later similarity search or topic grouping.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Gemini to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to embed messages when a chosen Slack reaction is added.
  • 3Describe the intended message collection in one plain-language instruction.
  • 4Select the Message Reaction Added trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real message that should belong in the collection.

Questions about this workflow

Does embedding save a searchable database by itself?

No. Embeddings are numerical representations; another system or workflow must store and use them for search.

Can I use any reaction as the signal?

Choose a reaction supported by the trigger's optional emoji-name filtering, if available.
