Best Practices

  • Ensure the ‘channel_id’ and ‘thread_id’ are correctly set to target the desired message.
  • Verify that the ‘emoji_name’ is a valid Slack emoji to ensure the reaction is added successfully.
  • Use Jinja templating to dynamically set ‘channel_id’, ‘thread_id’, and ‘emoji_name’ based on workflow context.
