Query an opted-in email after approval
Let the team mark an eligible request ready, while preserving the consent context and a reviewable result.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Query Gender by Email Address
Tool to determine gender from an email address. Use when you need the likely gender based on an email.
Why this helps
An approved request may sit idle when the person responsible for the next step misses the handoff.
- Turns a clear team signal into the next requested step.
- Keeps contact opt-in as a separate requirement.
- Makes the result available for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gender API to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an instruction to query the email only if the message records opt-in and receives the agreed approval reaction.
- 3Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one eligible message.
Questions about this workflow
Is the team reaction a substitute for opt-in?
No. The contact's opt-in must be recorded independently in the message context.
What happens when opt-in is missing?
The instruction should skip the query and indicate that the request is not eligible.
