Use a Slack reaction to start approved Kadoa research
When the team signals that a research proposal is ready, an agreed reaction can trigger the Kadoa workflow setup.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Create Workflow
Tool to create a new workflow in kadoa. Use after configuring URLs and schema or prompt.
Why this helps
A proposal receives a clear go-ahead, but someone still needs to notice the approval and start the data collection.
- Give the team a lightweight way to signal that research is ready.
- Cut the gap between agreement and workflow setup.
- Keep approval tied to the proposal message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Kadoa to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to start approved research in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to create a Kadoa workflow for a proposal when the agreed reaction is added.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added, then choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test by adding the agreed reaction to a real research proposal message.
