Action

Why this helps
Teams agree that something needs research but lack a reliable handoff from discussion to action.
- Create a lightweight research handoff
- Avoid copying IDs between tools
- Make team signals actionable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Chatfai once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Reaction approved character research.
- 3Tell Notis to read the reacted Slack message, find its Chatfai public character ID, retrieve the character, and summarize why it may matter.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report destination, then test by reacting to one real message containing a character ID.
