Frequently Asked Questions about Chatter + Slack integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Chatter and Slack
How do I integrate Chatter with Slack using Zapier?
To integrate Chatter with Slack, you need to create a zap on Zapier where you select Chatter as the trigger app and choose an event that starts your workflow. Next, select Slack as the action app and specify the action type such as sending a message or posting a channel notification.
What triggers are available for Chatter when integrating with Slack?
When integrating with Slack, Chatter offers several triggers including new post, new comment on a post, and new follower. These events can automatically initiate actions in Slack like posting messages or alerts.
Can I receive notifications in Slack from specific Chatter posts?
Yes, by setting up a zap where Chatter is the trigger app with "New Post" as the event, you can filter posts based on specific criteria. Then, send notifications directly to a designated Slack channel or user.
Is it possible to send messages from Slack back to Chatter?
Currently, our integration primarily supports triggering actions in Slack based on activities in Chatter. Sending messages back from Slack to Chatter would require additional custom solutions outside of our current Zapier offerings.
How do I troubleshoot if my integration between Chatter and Slack isn't working properly?
If your integration isn't working as expected, ensure that all login credentials are correct and reconnect both apps in Zapier. Check that Zaps are turned on and investigate any error logs or alerts within your Zapier dashboard for more details.
Are there limits to how many posts can be sent from Chatter to Slack via Zapier?
Zapier plans have usage limits based on tasks; if you've reached your plan's task limit, new activities won't trigger until tasks reset. You can monitor usage in your account panel and upgrade if necessary.
Can I use multiple actions within a single Zap when integrating Chatter with Slack?
Absolutely! You can configure a single zap to perform multiple actions when a trigger event occurs in Chatter. For instance, when there's a new comment on a post, you could send notifications to several channels and also log it into another platform simultaneously.
