Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Creatomate, Slack, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Creatomate and Slack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Creatomate and Slack (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Creatomate and Slack

Creatomate + Google Sheets + Slack: When a new video render is completed in Creatomate, its details are added to a Google Sheet. A Slack message is then sent to notify a specific channel about the new render and its information.

Slack + Creatomate + Airtable: When a new message is posted to a Slack channel, it triggers the rendering of a video template in Creatomate. The details of the rendered video are then saved as a new record in an Airtable base.
