Why this helps
Teams approve work quickly but quotations still depend on a separate manual step.
- Links approval to execution
- Reduces administrative delay
- Keeps the original request attached
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Ascora in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Reaction approved quote.
- 3Tell Notis to create an Ascora quotation only when the selected reaction signals approval and the message contains enough request context.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose a report destination.
- 5Test with one approved message and reaction.
Questions about this workflow
Can any reaction trigger quoting?
Use one documented approval reaction and tell Notis to act only on that signal.
What happens when context is incomplete?
Notis can report what is missing and skip quotation creation.
