Why this helps

A moderation request buried in conversation can be hard to find again when it is time to act.

  • Uses a quick visual signal to mark work for follow-up.
  • Brings comment context closer to the Slack conversation.
  • Helps prevent flagged posts from falling off your radar.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to fetch comments for the Instagram post discussed in a Slack message when you add your review reaction.
  • 3Choose the Slack reaction-added trigger, select the run-report channel, and test with one real post discussion.

Questions about this workflow

Can the trigger watch for a specific emoji?

The Slack reaction-added trigger supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Does the reaction itself identify an Instagram post?
