  • How do I set up a Slack trigger for a specific emoji across the entire workspace?

Hello,

I have a zap set up to trigger off of my using a specific emoji in slack. I’d like for it to apply across my entire workspace. Though currently, when creating a zap I only see options to apply the trigger to specified channels. Is there a way to apply the trigger to the total workspace so whenever I use that specific emoji it triggers the action?

 

Trigger - custom emoji

Action - add a task to google tasks.

Hi @MDPatterson 

Good question.

As you’ve discovered the Slack trigger only works for a specified channel.

 

The advanced approach to explore would be with Slack Webhook Events: https://api.slack.com/apis/connections/events-api
