Capture Slack decisions into a Notion register on emoji react
When someone reacts to a Slack message with a designated emoji, an AI extracts the decision, rationale, and owner from the thread and files a structured entry into a searchable…
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerSlack emoji reaction added (e.g. :gavel:)Slack
- ActionFetch full thread for contextSlack
- ActionExtract decision, rationale, owner with OpenAIOpenAI
- LogicSkip if no clear decision found
- ActionCreate entry in Notion decision registerNotion
- OutputReply in thread with link to register entrySlack
What it does
Turns the moment a teammate marks a Slack message as decided into a permanent, searchable record. Reacting with a chosen emoji (e.g. :gavel:) triggers the workflow, which reads the surrounding thread, distills the decision in plain language, identifies who owns it, and writes a clean row into a Notion database — no copy-paste, no lost context.
When to use it
Ideal for teams that make calls in chat but never write them down, then re-litigate the same question weeks later. Use it when you want a low-friction capture ritual: decide in the open, react once, and trust the register to hold the why and the who.
How it works
- 1A reaction-added event fires when the trigger emoji lands on any Slack message.
- 2The workflow pulls the full thread (parent message plus replies) for context.
- 3An OpenAI step extracts a one-line decision, its rationale, the owner, and the date.
- 4A logic step skips entries with no clear decision to avoid noise.
- 5A new page is created in the Notion decision register with those fields, the Slack permalink, and the channel.
- 6A confirmation reply is posted in the thread linking the new register entry.
