Hello all, how do I map the trigger word to be used as text? I am using a zap to monitor one Slack channel and sending a message to a different channel when certain words or phrases are mentioned. I would like to make the trigger word bold, colored etc to make it easily identifiable, or use it as the Bot Name to act as the ‘title’ to the message. Using + or / does not offer the mention word as an option.
Example: Use ‘to cancel’ to format the Text used in the zap data out message

In order to map it as a dynamic variable, it would need to be a variable from a previous Zap step.

Thank you, maybe I am approaching this wrong, but my question is where is the keyword in the message options?

Is this better?
Replication: Use the + next to Bot Name or Message Text field
Expectation: I would like to be able to select the designated keyword only as the Bot Name or either the Text or Raw Text variable. Or it’s own variable
+14If you want to set the Bot Name as the Highlight Word, simply type in the static Highlight Word value into the Bot Name input field as the value.
How embarrassing, I can’t believe it is that simple, thank you. Is there a way to map it as a dynamic variable?
