2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Now that you are in Pabbly Connect, you need to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to enter a workflow name and select a folder for saving it. Name your workflow something like ‘Get Slack Notifications for New Salesforce Opportunities’ and select the appropriate folder.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow window.
• In this window, you will set up the trigger and action for your workflow.

In the workflow window, you will see options for setting a trigger and an action. The trigger application will be Salesforce, and the action application will be Slack. This setup allows you to automate notifications efficiently.

3. Setting Up Salesforce Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, select Salesforce as your trigger application. You will then need to choose the trigger event, which should be set to ‘New Opportunity’. This ensures that your workflow will activate whenever a new opportunity is created in Salesforce.

After selecting the trigger event, you will be prompted to connect your Salesforce account. Click on ‘Connect’, and if you haven’t connected before, choose ‘Add a New Connection’. You will need to allow Pabbly Connect the necessary permissions to access your Salesforce account. Once you allow these permissions, your connection will be successful.

4. Configuring Slack Action in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will configure the action step in Pabbly Connect. Select Slack as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message’. This action will enable notifications to be sent to your Slack channel whenever a new opportunity is created.

• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Slack account.
• Choose ‘Add a New Connection’ and select the token type as ‘Bot’.

Once connected, you will need to fill in details such as the channel name, message content, and bot name. For the channel, select the appropriate Slack channel where you want to send notifications. Draft your message to include relevant details about the new opportunity, such as its name, stage, type, amount, and expected revenue.

5. Testing and Finalizing Your Workflow

After configuring both the trigger and action in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test your workflow. First, create a dummy opportunity in your Salesforce account to generate a test notification. Once the opportunity is created, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will capture the latest opportunity details.

If the test is successful, you will see a confirmation that the message has been sent to your Slack channel. Check your Slack channel to ensure the notification has arrived as expected, confirming that the integration works correctly.

Finally, review the entire workflow setup to ensure everything is configured correctly. Remember that Pabbly Connect will check for new data every 24 hours, but you can adjust this frequency as needed. Your automation is now complete, and you can enjoy seamless notifications for new Salesforce opportunities in Slack!
