Star Slack messages based on Discord reactions
A Discord message gets a thumbs-up reaction—someone in the community found it valuable. Notis automatically stars the corresponding Slack message so it floats to the top of your channel, making good ideas and wins visible.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
Action
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Great ideas and wins get buried in chat history because there's no automated way to surface them across platforms.
- Surface valuable community feedback in Slack automatically
- Keep wins and good ideas visible without manual curation
- Build a feedback loop that reinforces team culture
- Reduce the gap between Discord discussions and Slack documentation

- 3Choose the trigger: Message Reaction Added from your Discord channel
- 4Select the Slack channel where Notis reports runs

Questions about this workflow
Which reactions trigger the workflow?
You specify in your prompt. Common ones are 👍, ❤️, or 🎉, but you can use any emoji or combination.
What if the same message exists in both platforms?
Notis matches messages by content and context, starring the Slack version when the Discord reaction arrives.
Can I star messages in multiple channels?
Yes. Your prompt can direct Notis to star messages in specific channels or threads based on the reaction received.
