Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the OpenAI Responses and Slack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OpenAI Responses 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 OpenAI Responses and Slack
OpenAI Responses + Slack + Google Sheets: Analyze responses from OpenAI using the 'Send and Receive Response' action.
