Send a Slack Alert

View as Markdown

When a run hits something your team should know about, such as a new high-value lead or a step that failed, a Slack message is the fastest way to tell them. You can post to a shared channel or send a direct message to one person.

Nodes involved

Before you start

Both steps need a connected Slack account. Connect it in the Marketplace first; once connected, the step can post on your behalf.

How to build it

1

Pick the destination

Add a Channel Message step and choose the channel, or add a Direct Message step and choose the person.

2

Write the message

Enter the text to send. Point parts of it at earlier steps so the alert carries real detail, for example the lead’s name or the reason a step failed.
