Why this helps
Approvals are easy to overlook when the actual access change is a separate manual step.
- Tie the membership update to a visible approval signal.
- Cut down on remembering which request still needs action.
- Keep group access instructions close to the original message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Admin to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation that adds the named user to the named group only when the designated approval reaction is added.
- 3Select the Slack message reaction added trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with a real approved group request.
Questions about this workflow
