Run a name-list estimate when a Slack message is approved
A deliberate reaction can start a small batch lookup only after someone signals that the list is ready for review.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Predict Gender Batch
Tool to predict gender for multiple names in a single request. Use when batch gender predictions for several names at once.
Why this helps
People can lose track of whether a list is ready for processing when approval and lookup happen in different places.
- Use an intentional reaction as a readiness signal.
- Process only short lists with the batch action.
- Report probabilities for manual review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Genderize to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Write one prompt to act only on the chosen reaction on a message containing an authorized list, extract up to 10 first names, and request Genderize batch estimates with uncertainty labels.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added and choose a channel for Notis run reports.
- 5Test by reacting to one real, permissioned name-list message.
Questions about this workflow
Does the reaction prove the names should be processed?
It is only a workflow signal. Use a reaction agreed on by your team and process only lists you are permitted to use.
What if the message is not a name list?
The prompt should tell Notis to skip the Genderize action and report that the message did not contain an eligible list.
