Why this helps
Small account updates can get lost between a quick approval and the admin task that follows it.
- Turn a consistent approval signal into a defined account update.
- Reduce follow-up reminders for small requests.
- Require the exact user and address in 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 to add the specified alias only when the agreed reaction is added to a message that clearly approves it.
- 3Select the Slack message reaction added trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one real, approved alias request.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis use any reaction as approval?
Name the agreed reaction in the instruction and require a message that identifies the user and alias.
What happens if the message lacks the address?
