Turn dashboard requests into a clear approval flow
Let a deliberate reaction signal that a prepared dashboard cell should be added to an existing dashboard.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Add Dashboard Cell
Tool to add a cell to a dashboard. Use when you want to add or copy a cell to an existing dashboard after verifying the dashboard exists.
Why this helps
Dashboard requests can linger because someone has to remember to return to the dashboard and finish the small configuration task.
- Connect a clear team signal to a concrete dashboard update.
- Reduce the chance a small visualization request is forgotten.
- Keep dashboard changes tied to the original Slack conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and InfluxDB Cloud to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to add a prepared cell after a designated Slack approval reaction.
- 3Use one plain-language prompt to identify the reaction, the existing dashboard, and the prepared cell to add.
- 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real approved request after confirming the target dashboard exists.
Questions about this workflow
Can the action create a new dashboard?
No. It adds a cell to an existing dashboard, which should be verified first.
What should be prepared before the reaction?
The prompt needs enough context to identify the existing dashboard and the cell to add.
