Action

Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Email from key clients gets lost in Slack channels. When you need to reference something they said, you spend 20 minutes scrolling.
- Client emails are easy to find using Slack's starred item filter
- No time wasted searching through old conversations
- Important client context is always at your fingertips
- Your team can see starred items and understand what matters
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When an email arrives from a key client, star the Slack message.'
- 3Set the trigger to New Email Received.
- 4List your key clients in the prompt so Notis knows who to flag.
- 5Test by receiving an email from a key client and verify it's starred in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
How do I define 'key client'?
List specific names, companies, or email domains in your automation prompt.
Can I star different client groups differently?
Yes. You can create multiple automations: one for VIP clients (star), one for standard clients (reaction), etc.
Does this clutter my starred items?
Your starred list is organized—Slack filters let you search by type and date, so it becomes a useful archive.
