Use a Slack reaction to start email research
Mark a prospect message for follow-up with a reaction and let Notis run the email lookup from the visible context.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Find Single Email
Tool to discover a single email address using a person's first or last name with a company domain or name. Use when needing to retrieve a prospect's specific email before outreach.
Why this helps
A request can sit unanswered when the team has no simple signal that someone wants a specific research step completed.
- Make the next research step visible with a lightweight signal.
- Reduce the effort of repeating instructions in chat.
- Keep results close to the message that needs attention.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Icypeas to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or ask Notis conversationally to set it up.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction for Notis to find a named person's email from the reacted-to Slack message and its conversation context.
- 4Choose the Slack reaction-added trigger, configure the intended channel or emoji if needed, and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test by adding the chosen reaction to a real prospect message with name and company details.
