Save approved appreciation copy as you go
When a team agrees a thank-you message is ready to reuse, one Slack reaction can prompt Notis to save it as a Handwrytten template.

Action
Create Template
Tool to create a new template for the current user. Use when you need to save a new message template for sending handwritten cards.
Why this helps
Approved wording is hard to find later when it remains scattered across conversations.
- Save team-approved wording at the moment of agreement.
- Avoid searching old threads for a useful note.
- Start future cards with a proven draft that can still be personalized.

- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to create a Handwrytten template from a message marked approved with your chosen reaction.
- 4Choose the message reaction added trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by reacting to one approved thank-you message and confirm the template in Handwrytten.
