To start integrating Just, See, and Slack, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by navigating to pabbly.com/connect in your browser. If you don’t have an account yet, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ option in the top right corner.

After signing up, you’ll receive a free trial of Pabbly Connect. Once you’re logged in, you can explore its features and decide on a subscription plan that suits your needs. This platform will facilitate all your integrations seamlessly.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Once you are in the workflow builder of Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button. For the trigger application, select ‘Schedule by Pabbly’. This will allow you to set up a scheduled workflow.

Choose ‘Schedule Workflow’ as the event.
Set the frequency to daily.
Select the time for the trigger; for example, set it to 3:00 PM.

After configuring these settings, click ‘Save’. Now, your workflow is scheduled to trigger daily at the specified time, ensuring you receive timely updates from your team.

3. Adding Action Step for Slack Integration

Next, you need to add an action step to send messages to Slack using Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for Slack. Select it and choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the event.

Now, you will need to connect your Slack account. If you have an existing connection, select it; otherwise, click on ‘Add a New Connection’. You’ll be prompted to log into your Slack account and grant necessary permissions. Ensure you select the correct workspace where you want to send the message.

4. Customizing Your Slack Message

After successfully connecting Slack to Pabbly Connect, you can customize the message that will be sent. Choose the channel ID where you want to send the message, for instance, the ‘sales team’ channel.

For the message content, you can copy a predefined message and format it. For example, you could write: “Hey team, time for a quick update! What have you completed so far today? What are your plans for the rest of the day? Do you have any blockers?” Remember to format any text you want to bold using asterisks.

5. Testing and Completing Your Workflow

To finalize your setup, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This will send a test message to your selected Slack channel. Check your Slack to confirm the message has been sent successfully.

Now, your workflow is complete! Every day at 3:00 PM, Pabbly Connect will automatically send the check-in message to your team, allowing them to provide updates without you needing to remember to send it manually. This automation saves time and enhances team communication.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to use Pabbly Connect to automate daily check-ins in Slack. By following these steps, you can streamline team updates efficiently and effectively.
