Verify Docparser health from a Slack reaction
Use a simple Slack signal to confirm Docparser is ready before the next handoff.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Ping API
Tool to test API authentication and connection health check for Docparser API. Use when you need to verify that API credentials are valid and the connection is working.
Why this helps
Teams approve a document step in Slack without knowing whether the downstream API is available.
- Catch API issues before processing starts
- Tie readiness checks to an existing team signal
- Make handoffs more predictable

- 3Tell Notis to ping Docparser and report the connection status when the reaction indicates approval.
