Why this helps
A prospect can get a positive response in Slack and still be missed when follow-up depends on someone remembering the next step.
- Use a clear signal before creating a lead.
- Avoid treating every prospect mention as approved.
- Move from team decision to outreach with fewer steps.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Instantly to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In a single plain-language instruction, tell Notis to create an Instantly lead from the reacted-to Slack message when the chosen reaction signals approval.
- 4Choose the Slack reaction added trigger and its channel and emoji options, set a reporting channel, then test on one approved prospect message.
