Refresh a Slack name estimate after review status changes

When a team removes its review marker, rerun a small estimate batch to put the latest report in front of the reviewer.

Trigger

Message Reaction Removed

Triggered when a reaction is removed from 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

A changed review status can leave people unsure whether an old lookup still reflects the current list.

  • Use a clear review-status change to prompt a new run.
  • Keep refreshed estimates near the original message context.
  • Reduce manual reminders to rerun the check.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Genderize to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create a new automation in the portal or describe it to Notis conversationally.
  • 3Give Notis one prompt to act only when the agreed review reaction is removed from an authorized list message, then request batch estimates for up to 10 first names and label them uncertain.
  • 4Select Message Reaction Removed and choose the run-report channel.
  • 5Test by removing the review reaction from a real, permissioned list message.

Questions about this workflow

Does removing a reaction always mean the list changed?

No. Treat it as a team-defined signal to refresh the estimate, not proof that the names changed.

Can the prompt avoid unrelated reaction removals?

Yes. Specify the agreed reaction and the expected list-message context in the plain-language instruction.
