Turn Slack Emoji Reactions Into Prioritized Process Street Workflows
See a message that needs action? React with an emoji. Notis reads that signal and creates a workflow run in Process Street, pulling in the message context automatically. No typing needed.
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 Run
This tool creates a new workflow run from a specified workflow template. it is one of the most fundamental operations in process street, allowing users to initiate a new instance of a workflow. the tool requires a workflow template id and optionally allows setting a custom name, due date, and whether to enable a share link.
Why this helps
Important Slack messages get buried. You find yourself re-reading conversations to remember what you actually need to do. Emoji reactions are natural in Slack but they rarely leave you a permanent trace.
- Mark important messages with a reaction - that's it
- Workflow run is created automatically with message context
- Use emoji as a priority signal (e.g., :fire: for urgent)
- Faster than copy-pasting or retyping tasks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Process Street to Notis (one-time in the portal).
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I react to a Slack message with an emoji, create a workflow run in Process Street using the message content.'
- 3Select 'Message Reaction Added' as your trigger.
- 4Choose which channel to monitor (or leave it open for all channels) and pick a Slack channel for confirmation messages.
- 5React to a test message in Slack to confirm the workflow run appears in Process Street.
Questions about this workflow
Which emojis trigger the automation?
All emojis by default. You can customize it to only certain emojis (e.g., :fire:, :star:, :warning:) if you want more control.
Does it include the original message text?
Yes, the full message is captured in the workflow run so you have all the context without re-reading Slack.
Can I use this for feedback or approval, not just task creation?
Absolutely. You could react with :thumbsup: to mark approvals, and Notis can create workflows, complete workflows, or both depending on your setup.
