Apply Givebutter campaign edits after a Slack approval reaction
Make the approval signal visible and carry the agreed campaign change through.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Update Campaign
Tool to update an existing campaign's details by its id. use when you need to modify campaign attributes after creation.
Why this helps
An approved change can still be forgotten when the team treats the decision and account update as separate tasks.
- Use a visible approval marker to start the update.
- Reduce the follow-up gap after a campaign decision.
- Keep the update tied to the proposal the team reviewed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Givebutter to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to update a campaign when a designated reaction approves a specific proposed edit.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to use the reacted-to message, require an identifiable campaign and explicit change, and skip unclear proposals.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose the approval emoji and relevant channel.
- 5Test with one approved edit and verify the resulting campaign details.
Questions about this workflow
Should a reaction approve an entire thread?
The prompt should define a specific approval signal and require the reacted-to message to identify the exact campaign and change.
Does a removed approval reaction undo the edit?
No. This workflow triggers on a reaction being added and uses Update Campaign; it does not reverse changes when a reaction is removed.
