Can I update custom user profile fields in Slack?

I have created a Google form and would like to use values I collect there to populate the custom fields I created for the Slack user profile. The existing Zap only includes basic values.

Hi @Hack4OpenGLAM ,

Circling back here to see how you got on with this workflow.

If I’m understanding correctly, it doesn’t sound like this is possible at the moment as there is no Slack Action to update custom fields. Here is a listing of the current Slack Actions. You can always submit this as a feature request via our Support team. They can be contacted here

Do you mean the zap isn’t pull in the data from your google form?

The Slack Zap only updates basic fields, not the custom fields I have created myself. I am new to Zapier, and I don’t know if it is possible to modify existing Zap options.
