Connect airfocus and Slack

airfocus holds your priorities and roadmap. FlowMattic posts the changes that matter to Slack: items moving status, scores crossing a threshold, target dates slipping. Each one goes to the channel or person who has to act. For product teams who want roadmap movement visible without a weekly sync.

When airfocus fires Status Updated, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Post status changes on airfocus items to Slack

Each time an item moves, say from Next to In progress, the channel gets the item and its new status, so the team follows the roadmap as it shifts.

Send each status to the channel that cares

A Router posts items entering In progress to engineering and items reaching Done to marketing, so each group sees only its part of the flow.

DM the head of product when a score jumps

Number Field Updated catches a priority score change and a Filter keeps scores above your threshold, so big reprioritisations reach the decision maker.

Warn the team when a target date moves

Date Field Updated posts the item and its new date to the delivery channel, so a slipped date is discussed the day it changes.

Set a reminder for the start of a date range

When a planned date range is set, Date/Time Formatter reads its start and Add Reminder nudges the owner that morning to kick off the work.

Tell portfolio leads when a mirrored item changes

Mirror Source Updated posts to a private leads channel when a team's item changes underneath a portfolio view, so roll-ups do not drift unnoticed.

Set up: status changes to Slack

At the end, every status change on an airfocus item posts to the Slack channel you pick.

  1. Connect Slack

    Under Connects in FlowMattic, add a Slack connection for the workspace your product team uses.

  2. Pick Status Updated

    Create a workflow with airfocus and Status Updated, and follow the trigger's instructions so airfocus sends its events to the workflow.

  3. Move a test item

    Change the status of an item in airfocus so FlowMattic captures the item name, old status and new status.

  4. Write the post

    Add Slack Send Channel Message, choose the channel, map the item fields into the text, test it and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • Field triggers such as Single Select Field Updated and Number Field Updated can fire for more than one field of that type. Check the captured data and filter on the field you mean.
  • Bulk edits in airfocus can change many items at once and post one message each. Point busy workflows at a dedicated channel.
  • To post into a private channel, add the Slack app to it first and use Send Private Channel Message.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

airfocus and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Roadmap moves are seen

Status, score and date changes reach Slack as they happen in airfocus, so nobody works from last week's plan.

Only the changes that matter

Filters and Routers pick out the fields and thresholds you care about, so the channel is signal rather than noise.

Unlimited runs on your site

FlowMattic runs on your WordPress server, so a roadmap that changes every day costs no more to follow.

Common questions

Can airfocus send notifications to Slack?

Yes. A FlowMattic workflow starts from an airfocus trigger such as Status Updated or Date Field Updated and posts with Slack Send Channel Message, Send Private Channel Message or Send Direct Message.

Can I alert only on one field?

Yes. Test the field trigger once to see which details airfocus sends about the change, then add a Filter on the field name or value, such as Priority score, so changes to other fields of that type are ignored.

Can multi-select changes post as well?

Yes. Multi Select Field Updated and Single Select Field Updated are triggers, useful for team or theme tags that move an item between groups.

Can I post to more than one channel?

Yes. Use a Router with one path per channel and a condition on each, or add several Slack steps one after the other.

Will each change make a separate message?

Yes, one run per change. If that is too many, send them to a quiet channel or keep only the statuses that need people to act.
