Apollo + Slack

Send Slack channel messages for new Apollo contacts

If you are a manager and would like to be notified whenever your reps are saving new contacts in Apollo, then this template will allow you to leverage Slack for that purpose. Any time a new contact is saved or created in Apollo, a message will be posted within Slack (to a channel you specify) that contains all of that contact's information.

When this happens...
New Contact
Triggers when a new Contact is created.

Note: This trigger may not always fire instantly after Contacts are created in Apollo. Contact information must be verified as up-to-date first, so there may be a delay of up to 30 minutes.
