Slack
Send Slack notifications from an automation
Use the Slack action when an automation should post a message to a Slack channel.
Before you start
Make sure you have:
- A Slack workspace
- A Slack app with incoming webhooks enabled
- The webhook URL for the target channel
Configure the action
The Slack action uses two fields:
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Incoming Webhook URL | The Slack webhook URL for the channel |
| Message | The text Budibase posts when the automation runs |
Use bindings
Use bindings to include values from the trigger row or earlier steps.
Example:
Woohoo, we just made a new sale in {{ trigger.row.Country }}
Check out the sale using the link below:
https://joe.budibase.app/app/tutorials#/sales/{{ trigger.id }}Test
Test the automation with a sample row first.
Confirm the message posts to the correct channel and the bindings resolve as expected.
