Sending custom messages to Slack

I know I can send messages to Slack via Zapier. Is there a way to send a custom message per person each time a record is added in a specific table?

The ideal scenario would be if I can send a custom message to different channels depending on what the topic is about.

Any tips?

Hi @moe,

Curious if there’s a similar way to send messages to Slack as a “Post Action” on a scheduled task?

I’d basically like to use the same Google Apps Script process, but instead of triggering the webhook upon record creation/edit, it would trigger after a successful scheduled task.

I know I can use the “Send Email” action, but I’d love the flexibility of the Google Apps Script to be able to @ the user directly in Slack so they get a notification.

Will the @user be dnamic for each task? If not, I thought you can just change the message text to “@scott, the task has completed”
