Record visual approval in ImageKit from Slack
A clear approval reaction can update an asset's status while the team stays in its conversation.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Update File Details
Tool to update details of a file. Use when you need to modify tags, coordinates, metadata, or extensions on an ImageKit asset.
Why this helps
Approvals get lost when the decision lives in Slack but the asset library still looks unfinished or unreviewed.
- Carries a deliberate approval signal into the asset record.
- Keeps review status visible where assets are stored.
- Cuts the risk of someone asking for approval twice.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and ImageKit io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update the identified ImageKit asset's approval detail only when the designated reaction is added to its Slack message.
- 4Choose the message-reaction-added Slack trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test on a real asset message using the designated reaction.
Questions about this workflow
Can any reaction approve an asset?
Specify a single deliberate reaction in the instruction so the signal is unambiguous.
What if the Slack message does not identify the asset?
The instruction should require a clear asset identifier and skip ambiguous messages.
