Send a Slack alert when a new GoodDay.Work project is created

What this workflow does
New projects in GoodDay.Work are easy to miss if you are not the one who set them up. People who will be pulled in later, such as designers, account managers or finance, often learn about the work only when the first task lands. This workflow tells them in Slack as each project is added.
The GoodDay.Work trigger fires when a project is created in your account. The project's details come into FlowMattic as fields you can map. The Slack step then posts to the channel you choose, using a message you write from those fields and your own text.
Each new project produces one Slack message, with no filtering as imported. Changes to an existing project don't fire this trigger, since it listens only for creation. Task History lists every run, so you can check what GoodDay.Work sent if a message looks incomplete.
Heads-up for a delivery team
A studio's production channel gets a Slack note each time a project manager opens a new project in GoodDay.Work.
Track new client work
Account managers follow one channel that lists every project as it is created, without needing to check GoodDay.Work each day.
Keep finance in the loop
A billing channel receives each new project, so whoever sets up invoicing knows a job has started.
How this workflow runs

What you need
- FlowMatticCore
- GoodDay.Work AccountAccount
- Slack AccountAccount
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.
- Create a test project in GoodDay.Work after import so FlowMattic captures real project data before you write the Slack message.
- If only some projects matter to the channel, add a Filter after the trigger that checks a value in the project data, such as its name.
- Add a second Slack step to notify another channel, or a direct message step for the person who runs new projects.
