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:

SettingPurpose
Incoming Webhook URLThe Slack webhook URL for the channel
MessageThe 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.
