How to create a Zap for Command

In Slack, I want to run “”/pick su” command everyday at 9.30 AM. How can I create it using Zapier?

I tried “Send a message” action, but it sends as a plain text and doesn’t run a command.

So, I want to understand if it is possible to schedule a command using Zapier?

You can’t trigger Slack Commands via the Slack Zap app integration.

If it is possible, you’d have to explore using the Slack API via the API Request action: https://api.slack.com/

Hi @Harsh

Good question.

Please clarify in what app you are trying to use the command. (e.g. Slack)
