Features
Send Slack Message
The Send Slack Message action is used to post a message in a channel in your Slack workspace. Just tell Glide which channel to post in and what the text of the message should be.
The Send Slack Message action can be added to a component that supports actions (e.g., a button), added to an action sequence in the Action Editor, or triggered after a form is submitted.
