How can I set up a Zap that sends a Slack message and automatically adds a reply in the thread?

I need to create a Zap that:

  1. Triggers when a new Google contact form submission is received
  2. Sends a message to my #network Slack channel saying "We received a new contact form response from [name]"
  3. Adds the complete form submission details as a threaded reply to that message

I've managed to set up the trigger and main message, but I'm having trouble with the threaded reply part. Can someone provide step-by-step instructions for this specific workflow? Thanks!

Hi ​@Sofia Zaps 

Help links for using Slack in Zaps: https://zapier.com/apps/slack/integrations#help

 

Try these Zap action steps:

  • Action: Slack - Send Channel Message
  • Action: Slack - Send Channel Message
    • Field: Thread
      • Use the timestamp from the previous Zap step of the Channel Message
