After setting these parameters, click on ‘Save’. Your workflow is now scheduled to run daily at the specified time, ready to send reminders to your team.

3. Connecting Slack to Pabbly Connect

With your schedule set, the next step is to connect Slack as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add Action’ and select Slack. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account by clicking on ‘Connect’.

• Choose the appropriate Slack channel for reminders.
• Input the message content, such as ‘This is a gentle reminder for sharing your work reports by 6 PM.’.
• Optionally, add images or videos using URLs.

After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save and Test Request’ to send a test message to your Slack channel. This ensures that everything is set up correctly.

4. Testing the Automation Workflow

Once you have set up the Slack connection, it’s time to test the workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Save and Test’ to send the reminder message to your selected Slack channel. If everything is configured correctly, you should see the message appear in your Slack workspace.

Check your Slack channel to confirm that the reminder has been successfully sent. This step is crucial to ensure that your automation is working as expected before relying on it for daily reminders.
