Automatically tag a user in a channel based on keyword

Hi @Andrii_O 

Good question.

Help article: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496025607181#emoji-0-5

Mentions and notifications

• User mentions: type an open angle bracket, the at symbol (@), the user’s Slack member ID (see below how to find the member ID), and a closing angle bracket.
  <@UG1234567>
• “Everyone” notification (notifies everyone in your workspace in the #general channel): type an open angle bracket, an exclamation point (!), “everyone”, and a closing angle bracket.
  <!everyone>
• “Here” notification (notifies active members in a specific channel): type an open angle bracket, an exclamation point (!), “here”, and a closing angle bracket.
  <!here>
• “User group” notification (notifies all members of a user group): type an open angle bracket, an exclamation point (!), type in “subteam” , a caret symbol (^), the user group ID (see below how to find the group ID), and a closing angle bracket.
  <!subteam^abcde123456>

Tip

To find a user’s Slack member ID:

• Select the user’s Slack profile.
• Click More.
• Copy the member ID by clicking Copy member ID and paste it into your Zap.

To find a user group ID:

• Open Slack in your web browser.
• Select People & user groups from the left-hand menu.
• In the People window, select the User groups tab.
• Select the user group you want to mention.
• In the web page URL, copy the alphanumeric ID that follows /user_groups/. This is the user group ID.

Hi @Troy Tessalone - thanks for the prompt response!

How can I associate a specific Slack Member ID to a keyword. For example, when there is a news from Binance on specific channel, I want to automatically mention the Slack Member ID associated with Binance.

Essentially I’m looking to build a rule where when there’s company A news, tag Slack member A, when there’s company B news, tag Slack member B, etc.

Hi @Andrii_O 

The easiest way to do that is to use Paths by Zapier. In the Path filter, you would need to add the condition you want as “Contains”

Hi there @Andrii_O - checking in to see how you’re coming along with your Zap- anything else we can help you with? Or were you able to accomplish everything with paths 🛣

Let us know either way!

Yes, thank you!
