Hi,

 

Is it possible to have a notification on Slack when a date, which is manually inputted by me, is reached in Google Sheets column?  Would love the ability to get reminders when my “Task Due Date” occurs.

 

Thanks!

Hi ​@mshoer 

I’d recommend using Airtable instead of GSheets.

Try these Zap steps:

  1. Trigger: Airtable - New Record
    1. View: configure a View with a Filter that looks for a Date field that has a value equal to Today
    2. Help: https://zapier.com/apps/airtable/integrations#help
  2. Action: Slack - Add Reminder
    1. Help: https://zapier.com/apps/slack/integrations#help

 

If you want to use GSheets, try these Zap steps:

  1. Trigger: Schedule
    1. Interval: Daily
    2. Help: https://zapier.com/apps/schedule/help
  2. Action: Formatter > Date & Time > Format Date
    1. Date: Today
    2. Help: https://zapier.com/apps/formatter/help
  3. Action: GSheets - Lookup Rows
    1. Help: https://zapier.com/apps/google-sheets/integrations#help
  4. Action: Filter
    1. Check if Rows were returned
    2. Help: https://zapier.com/apps/filter/help
  5. Action: Looping - Create Loop from Line Items
    1. Used to iterate if there are 1+ Rows returned
    2. Help: https://zapier.com/apps/looping/help
  6. Action: Slack - Add Reminder
    1. Help: https://zapier.com/apps/slack/integrations#help

 

Slack also has native Lists functionality: https://slack.com/help/articles/27452748828179-Use-lists-in-Slack
