Approve a Hashnode comment in Slack

A reaction can be the last step of review. Once your team marks a prepared response as approved, Notis can carry it to the related Hashnode post.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Hashnode Add Comment

Tool to add a comment to a Hashnode post. Use after obtaining story ID and content, optionally provide a parent comment ID for replies.

Why this helps

The team has reviewed a response, but the approved wording still needs to be copied into Hashnode manually.

  • Give reviewers a lightweight approval signal.
  • Avoid retyping an approved response.
  • Keep a record of the decision in the original Slack conversation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Hashnode to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, explain which reaction means approval, where the approved text and target post are identified, and when to add a comment.
  • 4Select Slack Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one prepared response and the team's approval reaction.

Questions about this workflow

Can a reaction alone provide the comment text?

The prompt should tell Notis where the prepared response and target article context live, such as in the reacted-to message.

Which reaction should we use?

Choose a reaction your team already recognizes as approval and name it in the prompt.
