Connect Slack and your workflows can post to your team’s channels, for example when a new lead comes in.

What you get

  • The Send a Slack message workflow step. It posts to the channel you pick, with details like the customer’s name filled in.
Sapt only posts. It does not read your Slack messages.

Before you start

  • A Slack workspace where you can add apps. By default any member can. If your workspace needs approval, ask a Workspace Owner. Slack’s guide.
