Descript is where your team records, edits and renders podcasts and videos. FlowMattic posts the production steps to Slack: a video finished rendering, audio is mastered, a guest joined the session, a new show was set up. Editors, producers and the publishing team know what is ready without asking in a thread or opening the project.

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.
Ready-made templateA finished render is the cue for review and upload. The content channel gets the project name, so the reviewer starts watching while the editor moves to the next cut.
Video RenderedSend Channel Message
View the template Audio Mastered marks a podcast episode as ready for the host platform. The publishing channel hears which episode is done, so it goes out on the planned day.
Audio MasteredSend Channel Message
When a Descript recording starts, your Slack status changes to show you are recording, so colleagues do not ping you mid-take. A second workflow on Recording Stopped clears it.
Recording StartedSet Status
Remote guests join at their own pace. The producer gets a direct message as each participant arrives, so the host can start on time without watching the waiting room.
Participant JoinedSend Direct Message
A new Descript show gets its own channel named after it, with the topic set to the show's description, so scripts, guest lists and edits for that show stay in one place.

When a session ends, Slack sets a reminder for two days later to deliver the first cut, so raw recordings do not wait in the project for weeks.

When it is working, each video that Descript renders is announced in your content channel with the project name.
In Connects, add a Slack account that has joined the content channel.
Create a workflow with the Descript Video Rendered trigger and follow the trigger's instructions to link your Descript account.
Render a short clip in Descript, so the workflow captures a real render event and its fields.
Add Send Channel Message, choose the content channel and map the project and composition name. Test it and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Descript and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Renders, mastering, guests and sessions show up in Slack, so the whole team knows where each episode or video stands.
A recording status and a producer alert keep people from pinging the host at the wrong moment.
FlowMattic has no per-task pricing, so a studio rendering many cuts a day pays the same as one that renders weekly.
Create a FlowMattic workflow with the Descript Video Rendered trigger, or Audio Rendered for audio, then add Slack's Send Channel Message. Render a test clip, map the project name into the message and switch it on.
Yes. One workflow uses Recording Started with Set Status to show you are recording, and a second uses Recording Stopped with Set Status to clear it. It changes the status of the Slack account you connected.
They are separate Descript events. Audio Mixed runs when a mix is produced, Audio Mastered when mastering is done. Most podcast teams treat Audio Mastered as ready to publish.
Slack's Upload File step can post a file when the trigger data includes a downloadable link. Check a captured Video Rendered event to see what Descript sends for your account.
