Make decisions easier to find in Slack
Give recorded decisions a recognizable marker so you can scan the conversation without rereading every message.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
Why this helps
Important decisions blend into ordinary conversation, creating extra searching and repeated questions.
- Makes decisions visually distinct
- Cuts down on searching through long threads
- Helps teammates catch up faster
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to mark decision messages.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction what counts as a decision and which reaction to add.
- 4Select the channel-message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real decision message and verify that the marker is accurate.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis distinguish a decision from a regular update?
Describe the decision language or intent to recognize in your prompt.
Does the reaction capture the decision itself?
The action adds a reaction to the original Slack message; it does not create a separate decision record.
