Why this helps
Recurring giving discussions often need a follow-up lookup that gets postponed amid other work.
- Make the review signal quick to leave and easy to see.
- Start a plan lookup from the original thread.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering to return to the question.
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 retrieve Givebutter plans when a chosen reaction marks a recurring giving review.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to retrieve the account plan list and report the result for the review.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose the reaction and channel to watch.
- 5Test with one real recurring giving question and inspect the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change donor plans?
No. Get Plans retrieves the plans associated with the account.
Can it respond to a removed reaction?
This workflow uses Message Reaction Added, so removing a reaction does not trigger this lookup.
