Visual Status Tracking: Emoji-Mark Slides as They're Created
Lightweight status tracking for neurodivergent workflows. When a new slide lands, Notis adds an emoji reaction—making it instantly visible which slides need review, feedback, or sharing.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
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
Slides blur together and you lose track of which are ready, pending review, or waiting for feedback.
- Visual status system requires zero mental load
- Quick glance shows what's waiting vs. done
- No extra fields or structured data to maintain
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Slack.
- 2Create an automation named 'Mark new slides with emoji'.
- 3Write: 'When a new slide is added, add a eyes emoji reaction to mark it needs review.'
- 4Select 'New Slide Added' as the trigger.
- 5Post a test slide and watch the emoji appear instantly.
Questions about this workflow
Which emoji will Notis use?
Specify it in your prompt like 'eyes', 'raising-hand', or 'rocket'—choose whatever your team recognizes for 'needs review'.
Can I change the emoji later?
Yes—update your automation prompt with a different emoji, and future slides will use it.
Can I use multiple emojis for different statuses?
In this automation, one emoji per trigger. Create additional automations for other status markers if needed.
