I have a Slack workflow created by Workflow builder where the final message is created by bot, and that message is triggered by Zapier and then creates a Clickup tasks and it works perfect.
But I would like to set, that only BOTS can trigger Zapier, because the channel is open for everyone, and sometimes people write messages and sometimes bot creates tasks, and every time the Clickup task is created.

Is it possible to change?

Hi @itramp 

Good question.

Try adding a Filter as Step 2 of the Zap to screen for only Slack Messages from Bots.

Thanks! It works!

Btw I didn’t know filters actually existed, it’s a helpful tool :)
