Collaboration

Slack + AutomateNexus CRM

Form submissions and workflow alerts posted to your channels through incoming webhooks.

Integrations — native connectors for communications, social, calendars, video conferencing, payments and AI providers
What you can do

Slack, wired into your pipeline.

  1. 01

    Form submissions, straight to a channel

    Paste a Slack incoming-webhook URL on a form's Integrations tab and every submission posts to that channel with the form name, who submitted it and a reference. A test button checks the connection.

  2. 02

    Any event through a workflow

    The workflow builder's Webhook step can POST a JSON body to a Slack incoming webhook, so a stage change, a paid invoice, a new lead or a received text can announce itself in the channel you choose.

  3. 03

    Or through Zapier and Make

    Point a CRM webhook, twelve events with the full record, at a Zap or scenario whose action is Slack, and format the message however you like.

How it works

Connected in three steps.

  1. Step 01

    Create an incoming webhook in Slack

    Add Incoming Webhooks to your Slack workspace, pick the channel and copy the hooks.slack.com URL. Treat it like a password.

  2. Step 02

    Paste it on a form

    Forms → your form → Integrations → 3rd Party → Slack. Click the test button, and make sure the form's Notify on submission setting is on.

  3. Step 03

    Add channel posts to workflows

    In a workflow, add a Webhook step, paste the same URL, choose POST and give it a JSON body with a text field. Any trigger in the builder can now post to Slack.

Under the hood

Built to be left alone.

  1. No Slack app to install

    There is no AutomateNexus CRM app in the Slack directory and no Slack sign-in. Everything runs through Slack's own incoming webhooks, which a workspace admin creates in a minute.

  2. One-way, by design

    Messages go from the CRM to Slack. Replies, slash commands and record edits from Slack are not supported; the work happens in the CRM, whose own team chat lives under Inbox → Chat.

  3. Sent once per event

    Form posts and workflow webhook calls are sent once, without retries or signatures, so keep the URL current if you rotate it in Slack.

What you can post

Three routes into a channel.

  1. Forms, natively

    Every form has a Slack field on its Integrations tab; each submission becomes one plain-text message in the chosen channel.

  2. Workflows, for everything else

    Triggers in the builder include new lead, stage change, invoice paid or overdue, booking created, SMS received and date reached; a Webhook step turns any of them into a Slack post.

  3. Zapier or Make, for rich formatting

    A CRM webhook delivers the whole record; the Zap or scenario builds the Slack message with blocks, mentions and links.

Good to know

What lives where.

  1. Karrie's daily check-in

    Karrie's brief of what needs you posts to your CRM team chat and notifications, not to Slack; forward it with a workflow if the channel is where your team looks.

  2. Notifications

    Team notifications are in-app, email and web push under Settings → Notifications. Slack is an outbound channel you wire up per form or per workflow.

  3. Your channels, in the CRM

    Inbox → Chat has channels, direct messages, huddles and scheduled meetings for your team, so client work and conversation stay on the same record.

No. Messages are one-way from the CRM to Slack.

An incoming webhook URL lets anyone who holds it post to that channel, so it is stored in your form and workflow settings and should be treated like a password; rotate it in Slack if it leaks.
