Question

Help with Slack to Google Sheets Zap

Hi there! 

 

I’m hoping somebody can help me build my ideal scenario: 

 

Ideal Workflow:

 

In Slack, I reply with an emoji, which creates a Google Sheet Spreadsheet titled the name of the channel.

 

Later in the Slack channel, If I react with a different emoji, it adds that Slack message as a row in that Google Sheet Spreadsheet.

 

The Issue:

 

On paper, this seems like an easy Zap, but I’m hitting bumps.

 

Specifically, because I can’t have two triggers in one Zap, my Zap is having a hard time finding the new google sheet.

 

Anybody have any advice?

Hello! My name is Justin and I work for the Zapier blog. 

I gave this a shot and had trouble getting it to work. The problem: Google Sheets doesn’t have a search step for finding a particular spreadsheet, and you can’t just use the “custom” step. I can’t really picture a way to make this work, because of that. The only thing I can think to do is to make the spreadsheets myself, then set up Paths for each channel to spreadsheet workflow. Which isn’t nearly as slick as what you're imaging, I know. Sorry about that. Maybe someone else will think of something?
