This template receives selected text on a Latenode webhook, translates it with Google Cloud Translate, and posts the result to a Slack channel.
Point a browser extension or any tool that can HTTP POST at the webhook URL. Connect Google Cloud Translate and Slack. Put the Translate API key on the Google Cloud Translate connection and the Slack bot token on the Slack connection.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

The scenario starts when a POST hits your Latenode webhook with the text to translate.
Google Cloud Translate returns the text in the language you set.
Slack sends the translation to the public channel you connect.
Add a webhook trigger and copy the URL. Paste it into the browser extension or app that should send selected text.
Add a Google Cloud Translate connection and paste your Translate API key there. Set the target language on the translate step.
Add a Slack connection with a bot that can post in the destination channel. Map the translated text, send a test POST, and confirm the channel message.

This template watches Slack for new files, downloads each file, and uploads a copy to a Google Drive folder. Use it as a backup so channel attachments are not only in Slack. Connect Slack and Google Drive, then pick the channel to watch and the Drive folder that should hold the copies.
This template starts when Slack sends a saved-item event to a Latenode webhook. JavaScript reads the message text with the Slack API. Put the Slack token in that JavaScript node. Google Tasks creates a task with that text as the title and the permalink in the notes. Connect Google Tasks and point Slack's saved-item events at the webhook URL.
This template receives Slack reaction events on a webhook, keeps the run when the emoji matches the one you chose, loads the original message from Slack, and creates a Linear issue with that text. Connect Slack and Linear. Paste the Latenode webhook URL into Slack Event Subscriptions for reaction events. Put the Slack bot token on the Slack connection and the Linear API key on the Linear connection.
