Why this helps
Feedback can sit in a Gist thread unnoticed while the Slack team assumes someone is tracking it.
- Use a reaction to flag that feedback needs attention.
- List comments on the Gist referenced by the message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gist to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction to list comments for the Gist ID in a message when that message receives a feedback reaction.
- 4Pick the Slack message reaction added trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by reacting to a message with a Gist ID whose comments can be retrieved.
