- Surfaces recent run history quickly
- Reduces dashboard switching
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 3Tell Notis to read the reacted message, identify the referenced Actor, fetch recent runs, and summarize statuses or failures.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose where the summary goes.
- 5Test by reacting to one real Actor reference.
