    How to use the Slack integration

    With the Slack integration successfully connected you are now able to automatically send a message to the connected Slack workspace when a new resource or object has been created or updated in Formalize. This may be accomplished by following the steps outlined below.

    1. Here we create an automation that is set to trigger when a new Task is created. We then create an action configured to send a message to Slack.

    2. Then select the channel in Slack and compose a message. You may use system variables such as "ID" and "Name" to include in the message.

    Once the automation has been enabled and saved, a message will be sent to Slack when a new Task is created in Formalize.
