1. Access Pabbly Connect to Set Up Weekly Reminders

To get started with setting up weekly reminders in Slack, first, access Pabbly Connect. Log in to your Pabbly account and navigate to the dashboard where all your applications are listed. This is where you will begin creating your automation workflow.

Click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ to initiate the process. You will then be prompted to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘Get Weekly Reminders on Slack’ and click on ‘Create’. This action will set up a blank workflow where you can define the trigger and action for your reminders.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be based on the Scheduler by Pabbly, which allows you to specify when the reminders should be sent. Select the Scheduler application and set it to trigger every week.

• Choose the day of the week you want the reminders to be sent (e.g., Monday).
• Set the time in UTC format (e.g., 1 AM UTC for 9 AM local time).
• Click ‘Save’ to finalize your trigger settings.

Once these settings are configured, you can proceed to the next step of integrating Slack for sending the reminders. This ensures that your team receives timely notifications every week without fail.

3. Integrating Slack with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will integrate Slack as the action application in your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select Slack and choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message’. This action will allow you to send messages to your designated Slack channel.

Click on ‘Connect’, and then select ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to authenticate your Slack account. Choose to connect as a bot to send messages. After entering the bot details, click ‘Save’ to establish the connection.

4. Configuring Your Slack Message

Now that your Slack channel is connected through Pabbly Connect, it’s time to configure the message that will be sent. Select the channel where you want to send the reminders (e.g., ‘New Registrations’).

• Type the message you wish to send (e.g., ‘Hello all, happy Monday! Please remember to complete your tasks by the end of the week.’).
• Leave the image URL blank if you do not wish to send any images.

Once you have configured the message, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the message is sent successfully to your Slack channel. This step confirms that your integration is working as intended.

5. Verifying the Weekly Reminder in Slack

After saving your workflow, it’s crucial to verify that the reminders are functioning correctly. Go back to your Slack channel and check for the message that was sent as a test. If the message appears, it confirms that your setup in Pabbly Connect is complete.

From now on, every Monday, your specified message will automatically be sent to your Slack channel, ensuring that your team stays updated and motivated. You can always return to Pabbly Connect to modify the message or change the schedule as needed.
