Start document OCR with a Slack reaction
A reaction can mark a document for attention. Notis can process the file and bring its key details into a run report.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggers when someone adds a reaction to a message.
Action
Process Any Document with OCR
Extract and classify data from a document using OCR.
Why this helps
Teams use reactions to flag work, but flagged documents still require a separate manual review step.
- Use a lightweight team signal to start document processing.
- Reduce context switching between Slack and document review.
- Summarize extracted information for faster follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Eagle doc once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for document review.
- 3Tell Notis to process the supported document attached to a message when the team marks it for review.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger, choose where run reports go, and set any available channel or emoji filter on the event.
- 5Test by reacting to one real message that contains a supported document.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use a specific emoji or channel?
The reaction event supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name. Choose the available trigger options that match your review convention.
