Take off a reaction, get a fresh FreshBooks project list
Assign a meaning to removing a reaction, and Notis treats it as your cue to re-pull the FreshBooks project list. It is a quiet, intentional gesture that keeps your view current without breaking flow.
Trigger
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
List Projects
Tool to list all projects for a business. use after confirming the business id.
Why this helps
You want to refresh the list on your own terms, not on a rigid schedule that never matches the moment you actually need it.
- Refresh your project list exactly when you choose
- Use a subtle gesture instead of another command
- Keep the latest FreshBooks view without a dashboard
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and FreshBooks to Notis once from the portal.
- 2In the portal, open Automations and choose New Automation.
- 3Write the prompt: when I remove my chosen reaction, list my FreshBooks projects and reply in Slack.
- 4Select the reaction-removed trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Remove a reaction on a test message to confirm the refresh works.
Questions about this workflow
Why use reaction removed?
It gives you a second, distinct gesture so adding and removing an emoji can mean two different things.
Can I filter by emoji?
Yes. The reaction-removed trigger supports emoji filtering so only your chosen one counts.
