Why this helps
Without a clear handoff signal, checking a contact address competes with everything else in the channel.
- Use one familiar reaction to signal a verification request.
- Avoid remembering a separate check after reading the message.
- Make the handoff to email validation consistent across your team.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Kickbox to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to verify the contact email in a Slack message when your chosen reaction is added, and select the reaction added trigger.
- 3Choose a channel for run reports, set the intended reaction in the trigger options, and test on one real contact message.
