creating a summary of slack messages (channel A) and sending it to channel B

Hi! First time posting here, so please bear with me :)
So I’m aiming to create the following flow: Zapier would listen to a Slack channel for a specific message (containing a certain word / a character) and would send to a daily summary of those messages to another Slack channel. 
I’ve looked pretty thorough and no out-of-the-box integration is able to do that. Do you have any ideas on this? Thanks!

Hi @remgriff , 

 

If I were in your shoes this is the flow I would create: 

 

I would create a trigger with “New Message Posted to Channel” and add a filter step to look for the specific word of your choice.  The daily summary can be created by the zapier digest tool  and you would set it up so it posts daily to another slack channel using the “Send Channel Message” action. 

 

Let me know if I’ve missed anything here.
