Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Slack bot, PostgreSQL, 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 β€œRun once” and triggering an event to check if the Slack bot and PostgreSQL integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Slack bot and PostgreSQL (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Slack bot and PostgreSQL

Slack bot + Jira + PostgreSQL: When a new message is sent to a Slack channel, this automation creates a Jira issue and logs the details into a PostgreSQL database.

PostgreSQL + Slack bot + Google Sheets: When a new row is added to a PostgreSQL database, a daily summary is sent to a Slack channel and then saved to a Google Sheet.
