Question

How to add a check reaction in Slack and verify its existence

I wondered if it would be possible to let the zap add a `:check:` reaction as a latch, and then check for the existence of that reaction.

    Hi ​@Ambreen Younas, welcome to the Zapier Community 👋

     

    You might be able to work with Slack's “Get Message Reactions” search action, which returns a message and its list of reactions. This could be a great way to verify if specific reactions exist on messages.

     

    This approach would allow you to:
    • Verify whether a particular reaction exists on a message

    • Build conditional logic based on reaction presence using Filter by Zapier or Paths by Zapier

     

     

    You can take a look at all of the existing Slack Triggers and Actions here:

    I hope this helps!
