Turn an acknowledgment reaction into a member lookup
When a message gets the team's acknowledgment, Notis can find relevant Heartbeat member context so a small follow-up does not disappear in the scroll.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
List Users
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of users in the Heartbeat community. Use when you need to get user information with optional filtering by creation date, group membership, or role.
Why this helps
Acknowledged messages can still leave a hidden lookup task that nobody remembers to complete.
- Uses a familiar reaction as a lightweight follow-up cue.
- Brings member lookup results to a team-chosen report channel.
- Helps convert a marked message into a more complete next step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Heartbeat to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or describe the intended outcome to Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search Heartbeat users when the agreed acknowledgment reaction is added and return a likely member match.
- 4Select the Slack Message Reaction Added trigger, optionally choose the emoji or channel, and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test the reaction on a real message that contains a clear member identifier.
