Zap on Slack mention

@Danvers Can I trigger a url when we get a new Slack mention? For example, if someone uses #help, can  I set the Zap to send a link/url to that slack channel/user?

Hi @LHayden! I hope you don’t mind me splitting this to a new post so that it doesn’t get lost!

 

You can certainly trigger a Zap from a mention in Slack, you can also trigger one from any new message in a channel, or when an emoji is added as a reaction to a message (a ‘reacji’ is added). When you use these triggers, you’ll get the details of the message including which user posted it and a link to the message. 

 

You can see all of the Slack triggers and actions here on the app page.
