Notis

Use a Slack reaction to prompt a Jotform usage check

When a usage question needs follow-up, mark the Slack message and let Notis retrieve the relevant Jotform account details.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Get User Details

Tool to retrieve details of the authenticated user, including account and usage info. use after confirming valid api key.

Why this helps

Account questions get missed when they are acknowledged in chat but no one opens the usage screen afterward.

  • Turn acknowledgment into a concrete lookup.
  • Use the message context to focus the review.
  • Keep usage information in the run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Jotform to Notis once in the portal and set up valid Jotform API authentication.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
  • 3Give one instruction asking Notis to retrieve Jotform user details when the chosen reaction is added to an account-usage question and summarize relevant information.
  • 4Choose Message Reaction Added and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real account question and reaction.
