Frequently Asked Questions about Quip + Slack integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Quip and Slack

Can I create a new Slack channel from a Quip document?

Currently, our integration does not support creating a new Slack channel directly from a Quip document. You can, however, share updates or messages from Quip to an existing Slack channel using specific triggers and actions.

What Triggers are available for Quip in this integration?

Our integration offers several triggers for Quip, including 'New Document Created', 'Document Updated', and 'New Message Posted'. These triggers can initiate actions in Slack, such as sending messages to channels or updating statuses.

How can actions in Slack be automated based on Quip updates?

You can automate actions like sending messages or updating user statuses in Slack when specific events occur in Quip. For example, you might set up an automation to send a message to a Slack channel whenever a new document is created in Quip.

Is it possible to alert my team on Slack when a Quip document is edited?

Yes, by using the trigger 'Document Updated' in our integration, you can configure it to send notifications to your desired Slack channel whenever a document is edited in Quip.

Can I retrieve comments from Quip documents and post them on Slack?

While the integration primarily supports updates and messages from documents as triggers, setting up specific automations could potentially allow posting original comments through webhook configurations or similar setups.

Does the integration support direct messaging between Quip and individual Slack users?

Direct messaging capabilities are limited. The current integrations mostly focus on broader communications within channels rather than individual DMs from one platform to another.

What are some examples of popular workflows using this integration?

Popular workflows include sending notifications for new documents or messages created in Quip directly to a designated Slack channel, allowing teams to stay updated without switching apps constantly.
