Now that Pabbly Connect has captured the data, it’s time to send a message to Slack. Click the plus button in your workflow and choose ‘Slack’ as the app. Select ‘Send Channel Message without Image’ as the action event.

Connect your Slack account by clicking ‘Connect with Slack’ and allow the necessary permissions. Once connected, choose the channel where you want to send the message. You can create a new channel specifically for PayKickstart cancellations or use an existing one.

• Enter the message details, including the subscriber’s name and cancellation reason.
