# Automation Action: Slack

Learn how to automate your slack

## **How to Use Stackby’s Slack Automation Actions**

Stackby now lets you automate Slack communication directly from your stack using built-in **Slack automation actions**. This means you can send messages to channels — no manual follow-ups needed.

With Slack automations, you can:

-    **Send messages to Slack channels**
    

This guide walks you through everything — from connecting your Slack account to setting up and enabling automations in Stackby.

## **Step 1 — Connect Your Slack Account to Stackby**

Before using Slack actions, you must connect your Slack workspace.

1.  Open the Stack where you want to set up [automation](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/368-overview-stackby-automations.md).
    
2.  Go to **Automations**.
    
3.  Click **\+ Create New Automation**.
    
4.  Select a [**Trigger**](https://help.stackby.com/en/articles/369-getting-started-with-automation-triggers.md) (for example: _When a record is created_, _When a record enters a view_, or _When a field is updated_).
    
5.  Test the trigger to make sure Stackby is receiving data.
    
6.  Click **Add Action** → choose **Slack**.

8.  Log in to your Slack workspace and **authorize Stackby**.
    
    -   Stackby will request permission to post messages on your behalf.
        
9.  Once authorized, your Slack workspace will be available for automation use.  
    

Your Slack account is now connected and ready.

## **Step 2- Send a message to a slack Channel**

This action automatically posts messages to a selected Slack channel.

### **Configuration Steps**

1.  In your automation, add an action → **Slack: Send a Message**.
    
2.  Select your connected Slack workspace.
    
3.  Choose the **Channel** where the message should be sent.
    
    -   Public channels are listed by default.
        
    -   The Stackby app must be added to private channels manually in Slack.

    -   Line breaks
        
    -   Emojis
        
    -   Links
        
6.  Test the action.
    
7.  Save and **turn ON the automation**.
    

Every time the trigger runs, Stackby will post a message in the selected Slack channel.
