Mark it once, get a compact summary

A familiar reaction can signal that a message deserves a summary, without adding another tracking step.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

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

Action

Generate Chat Completion

Tool to generate a response given a list of messages in a conversational context. Supports both conversational Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs). Compatible with OpenAI SDK.

Why this helps

Important messages are easy to mean to revisit and easy to forget among ongoing conversations.

  • Use an existing reaction as a low-effort capture signal.
  • Turn a long thread entry into something easier to scan.
  • Create a consistent review point for messages worth keeping.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Hugging Face to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create a named automation with a plain-language instruction in Notis.
  • 3Ask Notis to summarize a message when the selected reaction is added, using Hugging Face.
  • 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test by adding the chosen reaction to one real message.

Questions about this workflow

Can a reaction filter the trigger?

The Slack reaction trigger supports optional channel and emoji filtering. Describe the intended reaction in the automation setup.

Does the summary replace the original message?
