Get Stack AI Action Details Without Leaving Slack
Your team discusses Stack AI capabilities in Slack, but then has to navigate to another tool to see action parameters. This automation fetches full action specs whenever someone reacts with an emoji, embedding the details right in the thread.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggers when a reaction is added to a message.
Action
Get Provider Action Details
Retrieves details about an action offered by a provider.
Why this helps
Engineers break focus to look up action parameters and capabilities in separate dashboards, then return to Slack to share findings, creating cognitive disruption.
- Keep action specs embedded in conversation threads, cutting out context-switches
- Reduce time spent hunting for parameter documentation during planning
- Make action capabilities visible to the whole team instantly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Stack AI and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When someone reacts to a message in our team channel with a bookmark or pushpin emoji, fetch the Stack AI action details for the provider mentioned and post the full parameter spec in a reply.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Message Reaction Added' and pick your default emoji (e.g., bookmark).
- 4Choose the Slack channel where these lookups will happen.
- 5Test by reacting to a message about a Stack AI action with your chosen emoji and verify the specs appear.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Stack AI action to look up?
Notis reads the context of the message thread. If the team is discussing a specific action (e.g., 'send email' or 'create record'), it fetches details for that action. You can also mention the provider name.
Can I use a different emoji?
Yes. You can set any emoji to trigger the lookup. Popular choices are bookmark (🔖), bulb (💡), or magnifying glass (🔍).
What if the action doesn't exist or isn't found?
Notis will reply that the action couldn't be found and suggest checking the provider name or available actions.
