Notis

Use a Slack reaction to request an email check

Mark the contact message with your agreed reaction and let Notis handle the verification step, so you can stay with the conversation.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

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

Action

Kickbox Single Verification

Tool to verify a single email address via kickbox. use when you need real-time validation of an individual email before critical workflows.

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.

Questions about this workflow
