Hi, I’m new to Zapier, and I am looking to have the contents of a Google Sheet row put into a Slack channel anytime a new row is added, currently the bot just alerts when a new row is added but does not include the contents of what is added. Thanks for any links or info, much appreciated and looking forward to learning new things with Zapier!

Just wanted to follow up here for anyone who’s running into the same issue to clarify that in order for the information from the spreadsheet to be added into the Slack message you’d need to click into the field. Then, from the dropdown menu that appears, select the relevant field(s) from the Google Sheets step that contain the desired information.

Hi @ChelseaLynn12, thank you for your question! Would you be able to share a screenshot of your current action step? 


Thank you for your response! I have fully created it, however, it is not providing what was put into the spreadsheet just that something was put into the spreadsheet. If you need more screenshots please let me know and I appreciate your help!
