Why this helps
A performance question can get buried after a post discussion, leaving the actual numbers unchecked.
- Turns a quick reaction into a clear follow-up request.
- Keeps performance checks tied to the post discussion.
- Helps reduce the chance that a metrics question gets dropped.
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 retrieve insights for the Instagram post discussed in a message when you add the chosen reaction.
- 3Select the Slack reaction-added trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test on one real post discussion.
