The When a new security scan response is received, send an alert to Slack workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Beagle Security, Slack — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Security scan results are easy to miss when they arrive in an email inbox or wait in a dashboard. If your developers and site owners live in Slack, that is where a new result should appear. This workflow posts to a Slack channel each time Beagle Security sends a new response.

The Beagle Security trigger, New Response, receives the data Beagle Security sends to FlowMattic. That data is passed to the Send Channel Message action in Slack. You write the message yourself and drop in the values from the response, so the post says which application was scanned and what came back, in whatever form Beagle Security provides it.

Every response leads to one Slack message, with nothing filtering them. Choose a channel where those messages belong, such as one for security or operations. Task History lets you open any run and read the full response Beagle Security sent.

Agency watching many client sites

Each Beagle Security result for any client application lands in one Slack channel, so the team sees new results without logging in to each project.

Release checks for a development team

After a deploy, the scan result posts to the dev channel, and the developer who shipped the change can read it in the thread.

Keeping a non-technical owner informed

A site owner who never opens Beagle Security still sees in Slack that a scan response came in, and can ask the developer about it.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Run a scan in Beagle Security after import so FlowMattic captures a real response. Then pick the values you want to show in the Slack message.
Add a Filter after the trigger if only some responses need a post, for example continue only when a value in the response shows findings. Check a captured response to choose the condition.
If the security channel is busy, add a second step that also creates a task in your project tool, so the result does not scroll away unread.
