Complete story:
I am trying to create a ticketing system within Slack - here is what I'm trying to design: -
Users fill out a form within slack - fields like [Product Name] and [Description] - basic stuff.
-
Once the post is made on the channel, I want Zapier to trigger a zap that digests the post, and based on the [Product Name] they select, copy the description of the issue and body of message and transfer that information to a separate slack (product specific) channel. Here is an example of the form output:
Form Output

Problem: the message sends to the channel, BUT, it is formatted incorrectly and doesn't have the correct logic in place to recognise the specific section of the message that matter (the product line). Here is an example of how the message outputs to the other channel through Zapier:
Zapier Message Transfer Output
I cannot figure out how to make the filters search for the specific text within the message - it only looks at the type of information sent from Slack - see attachment:
What I want is for Zapier to digest the text within message posted on the channel, based on the product line, send it to the correct channel (channel = HSEQ-Support) and attach the name who posted it, link to the original thread, and description of the issue they typed with the date and time it was posted.
I sought help in another community previously but they only said ‘you need to use split text’ etc. While that definitely got me closer to a solution, it didn’t actually tell me know to use split text to get the output I’m after. I know it sounds tedious, but this is not exactly the easiest system to use for someone who doesn’t work with tools like these. I’m sure if someone walked me through how to do a couple examples, I’ll be able to figure out the rest :)
