Use a Slack reaction to mark audio ready
Let a simple reaction mean the recording is ready for transcription, so teammates do not need to send a second instruction.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Initiate Pre-Recorded Transcription
Tool to initiate a pre-recorded transcription job. Use when you have an audio URL and need asynchronous transcription results.
Why this helps
Teams lose time clarifying whether a recording is merely shared or ready to be processed.
- Use an existing team signal to start transcription.
- Reduce extra messages about processing status.
- Make recording handoffs easier to recognize.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gladia to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to start Gladia transcription when a chosen reaction is added to a Slack message containing an accessible recording link.
- 3Select the Slack message reaction added trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 4Test by adding the chosen reaction to a message with a recording URL.
Questions about this workflow
Can any reaction start the workflow?
Describe the chosen readiness reaction in the prompt and select the Slack reaction-added trigger.
Does the reaction itself include the recording?
The reaction identifies a message. That message should contain an audio URL or file that Notis can access.
