I created a Slack to Slack zap that each time a 📌 is clicked the message gets sent to a new slack channel called #Add_to_Wiki.

The problem is when someone else presses the 📌 emoji the same message gets sent again polluting the  wiki channel.

I tried looking but couldn't find anything to limit the reaction.

If that's not possible is there a way if the same message gets two reactions the second message  just threads to the first so it doesn't pollute the channel?

Hi @dovigz 

You’d likely have to keep some sort of log to check against (e.g. in a GSheet)

Then you can check against the GSheet each time. (GSheets Lookup Row)

  • If match = TRUE, then don’t proceed, as that indicates a duplicate.
  • If match = FALSE, then “GSheet Add Row” and proceed, as that indicates no duplicate.

Thanks @Troy Tessalone  that sounds like it could work but sounds complicated…. is it possible on just two actions?

@dovigz 

What do you mean by “2 actions"?

Do you mean a Zap with 2 Steps? (1 trigger + 1 action)

Zap would require at least 5 Steps

Steps

  1. Trigger: Slack - New Reaction Added
  2. Action: GSheets - Lookup Row
  3. Action: Filter (if match = FALSE)
  4. Action: GSheets - Add Row
  5. Action: Slack - New Message in Channel

@Troy Tessalone \

I want something like this if possible

 

  1. Trigger: Slack - New Reaction Added
  2. Action: Slack - New Message in Channel and if the same message is there then thread it….

@dovigz 

Unfortunately, a Zap can’t be made that simple, hence the need for additional Zap action steps to apply the logic.
