Why this helps

Reaction-based decisions are easy to lose when the original message scrolls away.

  • Archives informal decisions
  • Keeps message context attached
  • Creates an auditable reference

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Customjs in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Reaction Decision Record.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a PDF record with the message, reaction, likely decision, and follow-up question.
  • 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger and set a report destination.
  • 5Test by reacting to a decision message.

Questions about this workflow

Can it handle negative reactions?

Yes. Ask it to classify concerns and recommend a follow-up instead of treating every reaction as approval.

What if the reaction is ambiguous?

The PDF can mark the interpretation as uncertain and request confirmation.
