Removing a reaction can signal renewed uncertainty, but the relevant term is easy to lose in the thread.
- Capture renewed terminology questions
- Reconnect context to the source message
- Reduce repeated manual searches
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Dictionary api once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Reaction Removed Term Review.
- 3Tell Notis to inspect the message whose reaction was removed and retrieve a definition for the term needing renewed attention.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Removed as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test by removing one real reaction.
