2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for OneDrive and Slack

To get started, navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. If you don’t have an account, you can create one quickly. Once signed in, click on the ‘Connect’ option to access your dashboard.

Next, you will need to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name it something like ‘OneDrive to Slack’. This workflow will automate the process of sharing files from OneDrive to Slack.

• Go to Pabbly Connect website and log in.
• Select ‘Create Workflow’ and name it.
• Set up the trigger application as Microsoft OneDrive.

After naming your workflow, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window will be set to Microsoft OneDrive, and the action window will be set to Slack.

3. Connecting OneDrive to Pabbly Connect

In the trigger window, select Microsoft OneDrive as your application. The trigger event will be set to ‘New File’. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection between Pabbly Connect and Microsoft OneDrive.

Pabbly Connect will prompt you to authorize access to your OneDrive account. Once you allow access, you will need to specify the folder path where new files will be uploaded. For example, enter ‘Documents/B/Project Reports’ as your folder path.

• Select Microsoft OneDrive as the trigger application.
• Set the trigger event to ‘New File’.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your OneDrive account.

After setting the folder path, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the connection. Pabbly Connect will confirm if the file details have been received successfully.

4. Configuring Slack as the Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up Microsoft OneDrive as the trigger, it’s time to configure Slack as the action application. In the action window, select Slack and choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message with Image’.

Once you select Slack, you will need to connect it with Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’ and authorize access to your Slack account. After successful authorization, you will see fields to fill in the message details.

Select Slack as the action application. Choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message with Image’. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account.

You will need to fill in the channel name, message type, and the image URL. For instance, set the channel to ‘OneDrive Messages’ and write a message like ‘A new file has been uploaded in OneDrive’.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

After configuring the message details in Slack, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send the message with the file details to the selected Slack channel. You should see a confirmation that the message was sent successfully.

To ensure everything is working correctly, go back to your Slack channel and verify that the message appears with the file link. This integration using Pabbly Connect allows you to automate file sharing seamlessly.

Remember, there might be a slight delay in receiving messages on Slack, so be patient. Overall, you have now successfully integrated Microsoft OneDrive with Slack using Pabbly Connect.
