Post to slack as an action

(Kevin Robinson) #1

Is it possible to post a message to Slack as a service/action?

Currently a user makes an enquiry through my Messenger flow, and that is sent to an email address.

Instead, I want to post that to Slack.

It seems that’s not possible natively. I could create another flow purely for that reason, but that wastes my credits for no reason. And I could set up a Zapier integration - but I shouldn’t need to really.

Why is this not supported? And if it is - how?

Actually, it turns out I can’t do Zapier - my mistake

Hi @Kevin_Robinson,

Unfortunately we don’t currently have Slack integrated as a service, purely as a bot platform. It may however be possible for you to use the Slack API along with our Webhooks service to be able to acheive this functionality. :question:

We do also have an idea on our roadmap to add slack as a messaging service which you might like to pop over and vote on. :slight_smile:

Thanks Karen, I’ll definitely vote for this.

This is crucial and fairly basic functionality we’d expect to have available.
