Instant Trigger Configuration Details in Slack
Your team discusses a Stack AI trigger in Slack but doesn't know all the configuration options available. This automation fetches the trigger details including inputs and settings when someone reacts with an emoji, embedding the full spec right in 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
Get Provider Trigger Details
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific trigger for a provider. Use when you need to understand the configuration, inputs, outputs, or behavior of a specific trigger.
Why this helps
Engineers design workflows without fully understanding trigger configuration options, leading to incomplete automation designs and wasted planning time.
- Design complete workflows by understanding trigger configuration upfront
- Reduce redesigns and planning iterations with full trigger specs available
- Keep trigger knowledge embedded in team conversations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Stack AI and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When someone reacts with a gear emoji to a message mentioning a Stack AI trigger, fetch the trigger configuration details including all available inputs and options, and reply with the full spec.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Message Reaction Added' and pick your lookup emoji (e.g., gear).
- 4Choose the Slack channel(s) where trigger discussions happen.
- 5Test by reacting to a message about a Stack AI trigger and verify configuration details appear.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which trigger details to fetch?
Notis reads the message thread to identify the trigger being discussed. If ambiguous, it may ask for clarification or show multiple matching triggers.
Does this include available filters and options?
Yes. The configuration details include all settable parameters, available filters, and any constraints (e.g., required fields).
Can I use a different emoji?
Absolutely. You can pick any emoji that fits your team's culture (e.g., magnifying glass, lightbulb, or hammer).
