Turn Slack reactions into structured sentiment polls
When your team reacts to an idea with emojis in Slack, Notis aggregates those into a poll in Telegram so decisions are clear.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
You post an idea in Slack and get scattered emoji reactions. It's unclear if the team actually supports it or if they're just being polite.
- Converts passive emoji reactions into structured voting that's easy to interpret
- Makes team support for ideas visible instead of ambiguous
- Reduces need for long discussions about whether people agree
- Creates a clear audit trail of what the team supports
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Telegram integrations in Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When reactions accumulate on a Slack message, create a poll in Telegram showing the team sentiment.'
- 3Select 'Message Reaction Added' as the trigger.
- 4Define how Notis maps emojis to poll options (e.g., thumbs-up = approve, thinking = consider, minus = reject).
- 5Post an idea in Slack with emoji reactions and watch a poll appear in Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
How many reactions trigger the poll?
You can set a threshold (e.g., at least 3 reactions) before Notis creates the poll.
Can I customize which emojis map to which poll options?
Yes. You can define your own emoji-to-option mapping (e.g., rocket = go, fire = urgent, clock = later).
What if people react differently in Telegram vs Slack?
Notis can aggregate votes from both platforms and show a combined result.
