Automations and Templates
You can set up automations between Slack and monday.com to complete common team actions and save loads of time. Channel notifications can also be customized and filtered to ensure your team is only bothered by the events that demand their attention.
Why Integrate Plus Automations?
Native automations in monday.com don't have any Slack-related triggers, and while they do support the ability to send messages to Slack, only Integrate Plus allows users to edit their monday.com items directly from Slack notifications.
Integrate Plus offers two actions and one trigger:
- Send message to Slack channel
- Send message to Slack user
- When emoji is used in channel (trigger)
While you can customize the notification text in monday.com, only Integate Plus notifications allow you to edit the item that triggered the notification directly in Slack.
All notifications from our app support the following actions:
- Assigning the item
- Adding an update to the item
- Moving the item to a different group
- Updating the status of the item
Does your item have multiple people columns or status types? No worries! Integrate Plus lets you select which column you want to update
Available Templates
You can find the following Integrate Plus templates in the app section of the templates library:
- When an emoji is used in a Slack channel create an item in board
- When column changes send message to Slack channel
- When column changes send message to Slack user
- When date arrives send message to Slack channel
