Hello everyone, I am trying to format my ‘new mention’ Zap/Slack message in an easily identifiable way. How can I either use the designated mention word as the bot name or highlight the word in the text so my users can immediately determine which of our ‘mention words’ is triggering the slack message? Currently I only see the channel name or the full text as options which is pretty messy. Thanks in advance.  

Hi @Arizonaiscold 

You can map dynamic variables from previous steps using the +] button or / command in a field.

If you need more help, post screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode.

 

Thank you, this is exactly what I need!
