Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Slack, Softr, 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 Slack and Softr integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Slack and Softr (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Slack and Softr

Slack + Google Sheets + Softr: When a new message is posted in a Slack channel, the message details are logged to a Google Sheet. This data is then displayed on a Softr customer support portal.

Softr + Airtable + Slack: When a new user signs up on a Softr website, the user's information is added to Airtable. Subsequently, a welcome message is sent to the new user on Slack.
