Use a Slack reaction to look up Keen io values
Mark a message that names a Keen io collection and property with the agreed reaction. Notis can fetch distinct values to make the next decision easier.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Select Unique
Tool to return unique values for a target property. Use when distinct property values are required for matching events with optional filters and timeframe constraints.
Why this helps
Teams often need to know which values actually appear in analytics data before they can make a useful decision.
- Turn an agreed reaction into a clear request for data discovery.
- See observed values before discussing segments or labels.
- Avoid a manual search when a quick list can resolve uncertainty.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Keen io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Give one instruction specifying that a chosen reaction on a Slack message naming a collection and property should retrieve that property's unique Keen io values.
- 4Select the reaction-added Slack trigger, with the intended emoji or channel filter if available, and choose a report channel.
- 5Test on a real message that states the collection and property.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow invent the collection or property?
The instruction should tell Notis to use the names stated in the Slack message and report if they are unclear.
What does the Keen io action return?
It returns unique values for a target property, with optional filters or timeframe constraints if supported by the request.
