Find a better fitting reaction GIF
If a reaction is removed, get a new Giphy search based on what the message actually says.
Trigger
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
GIPHY: Search GIFs
Tool to search GIPHY's GIF library. Use when you need to find GIFs by keyword or phrase.
Why this helps
A removed reaction can leave the conversation without an acknowledgement, while finding a better fit takes another search.
- Provides a new search direction after a mismatch
- Uses the original message for context
- Reduces repeated browsing for a better fit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Giphy to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to search for a more suitable GIF when a Slack reaction is removed from a message.
- 3Pick the Message Reaction Removed trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test by removing a reaction from one real message and reviewing the search results.
Questions about this workflow
Can this tell why a reaction was removed?
The trigger reports a removal; the plain-language instruction can use the message context, but it cannot know the person's reason unless that context is available.
Does it add a replacement reaction?
The Giphy search action returns GIF results and does not add a Slack reaction.
