React with a :grok: emoji in Slack to hand a thread to a Grok Bot routine

Try it yourself

What you get

A one-click way to send any Slack thread to your bot, which adds it to an agenda, logs a ticket or drafts a reply.

Tools

• Grok Bot
• Slack
• Custom Slack emoji

Time / cost: Thread handled within 30 minutes of the emoji reaction (per the author)

Steps

1. Upload a custom emoji (for example :grok:) to your Slack workspace.
2. Connect Slack to Grok Bot.
3. Create a routine that looks for threads with that reaction.
4. Tell it what to do with each: agenda item, ticket or reply draft.

Copy-ready prompt

Every 30 minutes, find Slack threads where I reacted with :grok: since your last run. For each one, read the thread and do one of:
- add it to my agenda for [MEETING/DOC] if it needs discussion
- log a ticket in [TRACKER] if it's a task or bug
- draft a reply for me (don't post) if someone is waiting on me
Tell me what you did with each thread. Skip threads you already handled.

Watch out: Keep replies as drafts so nothing posts in Slack under your name without a look.
