Start a localized name estimate with a Slack reaction
Use one agreed reaction to signal that a short, contextualized list is ready for a localized estimate.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Batch Predict Gender with Localization
Tool to predict genders for a batch of names with optional country localization. Use after gathering 1-10 first names when needing localized gender estimates by country.
Why this helps
A list can be ready for research while the follow-through still depends on someone remembering to open another tool.
- Use an explicit reaction as the start signal.
- Use only country context written with the list.
- Return localized probabilities for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Genderize to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Write one instruction requiring the agreed reaction, a list of up to 10 first names, and explicit country context before requesting localized estimates; label results uncertain.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by reacting to a real, permissioned list that includes country context.
Questions about this workflow
What if the list does not specify a country?
The prompt should tell Notis to skip the localized action rather than infer country context.
Does reacting verify the names or estimates?
No. The reaction is only a workflow signal. The predictions remain uncertain.
