Approve one name estimate with a Slack reaction
A reaction can serve as a simple, visible go-ahead for one small lookup when the message is ready.
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
Tool to predict gender from a given first name. Use when you need a quick gender estimation possibly localized by country code.
Why this helps
Remembering which small name requests have been approved can add avoidable follow-up to a busy channel.
- Use a visible reaction as the request signal.
- Keep the workflow scoped to one name.
- Include probability and uncertainty in the report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Genderize to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation via the portal or by asking Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to respond only to the chosen reaction on a message with an explicit one-name lookup request, then run Genderize and report the probability as uncertain.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by reacting to one real, permissioned request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the reaction alone trigger any message?
The prompt should require both the agreed reaction and a clear one-name lookup request in the message.
Should the result be treated as identity information?
No. It is only an uncertain estimate from a name.
