Use a Slack reaction to fetch an Aryn document
Mark a message and let Notis fetch the document details your team needs.
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 Document by ID
Tool to retrieve a document by id. use after both docset and document ids are available.
Why this helps
People acknowledge document requests with reactions but still need to perform the lookup manually.
- Uses an existing team habit as a signal
- Retrieves the exact document by id
- Keeps lookup requests lightweight
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Aryn once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that retrieves the Aryn document id referenced by a reacted Slack message.
- 3Pick the Message Reaction Added trigger and choose the reaction your team uses.
- 4Choose a report destination and test by reacting to one message with a real id.
Questions about this workflow
Can the reaction itself contain the document id?
No. The message or event context must provide the docset and document ids needed by Aryn.
What happens if the ids are missing?
Notis should report the missing identifiers so someone can add them and retry.
