Create Dub links after Slack approval
A single reaction can move an approved message into a live tracked link.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Upsert a Link
Tool to create or update a short link in Dub. Use when you need to create a new short link or update an existing one. If the link already exists (matching domain and key), it will be updated; otherwise, a new link will be created.
Why this helps
Approved copy often waits in a queue while someone manually creates the final URL.
- Uses an existing approval habit
- Reduces launch handoff delays
- Keeps the approved message tied to the link

- 1Connect Slackbot and Dub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Approved link from reaction.
- 3Tell Notis to create or update a Dub link from the reacted message and report the URL.
- 4Pick Slack Message Reaction Added as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one approved message.
