I am trying to create a trigger for any channel that starts external-
During the slack channels selection I do not see this as being possible and it forces to select a specific channel. Is there a way to do this?

Hi
You can do the following to achieve that:
- Trigger: Slack → “New Public Message Posted Anywhere”
- Action: “Filter by Zapier” and filter on the channel name
- Action: Slack → Send message
See the screenshot below. Please let me know if this works or if you have any other questions.

Hi
What exactly do you want to be the trigger?
A new slack channel but only if it starts with the keyword? Or triggers off of a message sent in any channel as long as that channel’s name has the key word?… Could you clarify? 👍

Hi and thank you,
If a message is posted in a channel that starts with external- send a message to a slack channel called channel1
