Adding multiple channels and users to New Reaction Added in Slack

Hi there!

 

I’m trying to create a functionality where multiple users on my team can React to a message on Slack, and for that message to generate a new row in Google Sheets. I would like for this functionality to work in multiple channels.

 

Unfortunately, in the “Set up trigger” module, I am only allowed to select one channel and one user. Does this mean that I have to duplicate this Zapier function every time I want to add a new user and a new channel for it to work in?

Surely, there’s a way to add multiple users and channels to streamline this process?

Hi @phantazn 

Try this…

Instead of selecting a Channel or User in the Slack Zap trigger, add a Filter as step 2 in the Zap: https://zapier.com/apps/filter/help
