Notis

Check related tickets from a Slack reaction

Mark a discussion for attention and let Notis look for connected Helpdesk tickets.

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 Tickets

Tool to list tickets with cursor-based pagination. Use when you need to fetch multiple pages of tickets after setting your cursor and sort parameters.

Why this helps

Important support threads can get a reaction but still require someone to remember to search for ticket history.

  • Connects a lightweight Slack signal to ticket research
  • Reduces the chance of overlooking existing customer history
  • Avoids a separate manual search step

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Helpdesk to Notis once.
  • 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis to set it up in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search Helpdesk tickets related to a message when the chosen reaction is added, then summarize likely matches.
  • 4Pick the Slack message reaction added trigger and select where to receive run reports.
  • 5Test by adding the chosen reaction to a real message that describes a support issue.

Questions about this workflow

Can I choose a reaction for the trigger?

The Slack reaction event supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name. The automation prompt can describe which signal should prompt the lookup.

Can this update ticket priority?

No. The available Helpdesk action lists tickets and does not change their status or priority.
