Once configured, send a test message to confirm that everything is working as intended. This integration ensures that leads receive immediate acknowledgment.


5. Notifying Your Team on Slack

The final step in this automation is to notify your team about the new lead via Slack. This keeps everyone informed and ready to take action.

In Pabbly Connect, select Slack as your action app and choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the event. Connect your Slack account and select the channel where notifications will be sent.

  • Enter a message that includes the details of the new lead.
