Trigger

Message Reaction Removed

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

Action

Get Roles

Tool to retrieve all roles in the account. use when you need to enumerate available roles before assigning permissions.

Why this helps

Permission discussions drift when a review marker changes but the role information remains stale.

  • Keep role discussions current
  • Surface changed review context
  • Reduce stale permission assumptions

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Appveyor in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named role review refresh.
  • 3Describe that Notis should retrieve Appveyor roles and summarize them in light of the reacted message and its changed review status.
  • 4Pick Slackbot Message Reaction Removed as the trigger and choose the report destination.
  • 5Test by removing one real review reaction.

Questions about this workflow

Does this alter permissions?

No. It only refreshes role information.

What if the message is not a permissions review?
