You can use the "Then send a message to slack" action to let you, or any recipient you add to that list, can receive a Slack message announcing that your automation has been triggered. You can send a Slack message to yourself or someone else to keep you and your colleagues up to speed on your automation's activity.

  1. Click + below any part of your workflow where you want to add a Then send a message to slack action. In the example below, the "When someone subscribes to any list" trigger has been selected.
