Feature request for product/service
Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Linear,…)
Describe the request
When using the native Slack trigger (e.g. “new message in channel”), Cursor’s Slack app adds emoji reactions to those messages to indicate run status (
while running, 
on success, 
on failure), as described in the Slack integration permissions (reactions:write).
Problem
In some channels (especially product or leadership channels), those reactions add noise or change how messages look. The can read like an endorsement or “approved” signal rather than “automation finished,” which is confusing for readers who aren’t familiar with Cursor’s convention.
Request
Please add a setting (per automation, per workspace, or globally for the Slack integration) or allow configuring this emoji such as:
“Do not add status reactions to triggering messages” or
“Notify status only in thread / DM / automation log instead of reactions on the original message.”
Desired behavior
Triggers and runs behave the same; only the surface area in Slack changes (no automatic reactions on the message that fired the automation, unless the user opts in).
Why it matters
Keeps high-signal channels clean while still allowing teams that like inline status to keep the current behavior.
