1.Detects new reaction added
Integrate Slack and communication event parsing to detect reactions and map permalink and text to extract an issue reference.
Add plugin label to issue from team reaction
Automatically watch for new Slack reactions across Slack and GitHub channels. Create and update when reactions include an issue reference—so you can extract issue identifiers, apply labels to the right GitHub issue, and confirm triage actions without manual triage.
How this automation keeps your issue triage current
When new Slack reactions are added to issue-referencing messages, triage can lag and labels go stale. This automation uses Slack to capture reactions, Formatter by Zapier to extract the issue reference, and GitHub to find and update issues—so your team can keep labeling current automatically.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
