Every Win Gets Recorded: Slack Reactions to Notion Journal
Your team reacts with party poppers to a shipped feature. Notis logs it as a Notion journal entry. At year-end, you have a visual record of what your team accomplished.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often struggle with seeing progress. Wins are celebrated briefly in Slack and then forgotten. Without a visible, organized record, it becomes hard to recognize the team's impact or to celebrate momentum during difficult periods.
- Build a morale journal that shows real progress and celebrates team achievements
- Create a searchable record of wins for performance reviews and retrospectives
- Make progress visible with emoji reactions instead of requiring manual logging
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When someone reacts with a celebration emoji like party poppers or a star to a Slack message in the team channel, create a new row in my Notion wins database with the original message, the person who reacted, and today's date.'
- 3Select 'Message Reaction Added' as your trigger and specify the emoji(s) (e.g., 'tada', 'star', 'rocket').
- 4Point Notis to your Notion wins or achievements database.
- 5Test by reacting to a team message with the chosen emoji and verify the Notion entry appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use different emojis for different types of wins?
Yes. Set up multiple automations with different emojis, and Notis will categorize wins accordingly (e.g., 'rocket' for shipped features, 'star' for great customer feedback, 'tada' for milestones).
Will Notis track who celebrated the win?
Yes. Your automation can log the person who reacted, the original message author, and any context. You control what metadata gets captured.
Can I use this to create a team dashboard or metrics report?
Absolutely. Your Notion wins database becomes a data source. You can create rollups, filters, and views to show wins by team member, date range, or category.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Notion actions
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Reaction Removed Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_REMOVED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
New Bot Message Received Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_CHANNEL_MESSAGE_RECEIVED` with `is_bot_message=true` instead. Triggered when a new bot message is posted to a Slack channel.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
