Is there two-way communication between Slack and Teams?

It appears that Teams to Slack works. But not vice versa. 

I need the zap to work both ways.

I created the reverse, but that did not seem to work.

Can Zapier manage two way communication between Slack and Teams? If so, how do I need to set it up?

Hi @maaron 

Good question.

Zaps are not meant to be used as a 2-way data sync between apps.

 

Does Zapier support 2-way syncing?

No.
Zapier does not support 2-way syncing between apps right now.
Think of Zaps like 1-way workflows.

In certain scenarios, you can fake 2-way syncing by setting up 2 different Zaps that perform opposite actions.
For instance, you could have one Zap that creates a new spreadsheet row for every new contact created and another that creates a new contact for every new spreadsheet row.
