Search Elasticsearch for messages your team marks
Mark a message with a reaction and let Notis look for related indexed context.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggers when someone adds a reaction to a message.
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
Important messages get bookmarked by memory alone, then disappear into busy channels without supporting context.
- Turns a team signal into a document search
- Adds indexed context to messages worth revisiting
- Reduces manual copying between Slack and search tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that searches a named index for context related to a reacted-to message.
- 3Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose an optional channel or emoji filter if useful.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test by reacting to one real message.
Questions about this workflow
Can I limit which reactions start the search?
The event supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name. Pick the filter when selecting the trigger.
Does it run when a reaction is removed?
No. This workflow uses Message Reaction Added.
What if Elasticsearch has no related documents?
Instruct Notis to report that no relevant documents were returned rather than imply that supporting information exists.
