Turn a Slack approval reaction into a Cincopa upload
One agreed reaction can move an asset from review to upload.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Upload Asset From URL
Tool to upload a new asset directly from a provided external url and receive a status id for tracking. use when you need to import media from a remote source and optionally specify a gallery or existing asset.
Why this helps
Teams approve assets with reactions but still rely on someone to notice and upload them manually.
- Uses an existing lightweight approval habit
- Reduces missed handoffs
- Starts uploads with the source message context

- 3Tell Notis to read the reacted Slack message, extract its media URL, and upload it to Cincopa.
- 4Choose Slackbot Message Reaction Added as the trigger and select where reports should go.
- 5Add the supported reaction to one real media message to test.
