Question

How do I separate individual records in a Zapier Airtable-Slack integration?"

I have a zap that checks my airtable daily for records that match today’s date, then sends the details of those records to my team in Slack.  The records are social media posts and the message is formatted in this manner Topic: {data}, Caption: {data}, Who needs to post this?: {data}. 

The issue I’m having is that if there are multiple posts scheduled, the details are combined for all the records.  For example Topic: {record 1 data, record 2 data, etc}

How can I get these returned one by one, where the data, topic, and who needs to post is delivered for one record, and the same is done for the next record?

I was thinking of using Paths, but do not have a good enough understanding of the syntax to craft the condition.  Or is there something I can do at the Slack step?  Thanks in advance oh wise ones!

Hi @nperpill 

Zap action: Formatter > Utilities > Line Items to Text

Used to format Line Items into structured Text to be sent as 1 Slack Message

 

OR

 

Zap action: Looping - Create Loop from Line Items

Used to iterate thru each record: https://zapier.com/apps/looping/help
