MaintainX runs your work orders on the shop floor; Slack is where supervisors and office staff follow up. FlowMattic posts status changes to the maintenance channel, routes new work orders by location, flags safety categories and DMs a supervisor when a job is on hold. For maintenance and facilities teams who want work orders visible without opening another app.

1. TriggerWork Order Status Change2. ActionSend Channel MessageWhen MaintainX fires Work Order Status Change, 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.
Ready-made templateThe work order title, asset and new status post to the channel, so supervisors see jobs move from open to in progress to done during the shift.
Work Order Status ChangeSend Channel Message
View the template A Router reads the location, so each plant, store or building has its own channel and crews only see jobs they can reach.
New Work OrderRouterSend Channel Message
A Filter keeps changes to on hold, and the supervisor gets a DM with the work order, so a job waiting for parts or access is not forgotten.
Work Order Status ChangeFilterSend Direct Message
When the safety category is added to a work order, a Filter catches it and the safety officer's private channel hears about it straight away.

Date/Time Formatter reads the due date and Add Reminder nudges the technician the morning it is due, so scheduled preventive work is done on time.

At the end, every MaintainX work order that changes status posts its title, asset and new status to your maintenance channel.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
MaintainX and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Status changes and new jobs appear in Slack, so supervisors know where work stands without walking the floor.
Safety categories go to a private channel for the people responsible, rather than a general maintenance feed.
FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site with unlimited runs, so adding more sites does not raise the cost of the alerts.
Create a FlowMattic workflow with the MaintainX Work Order Status Change trigger, add the workflow as a webhook in MaintainX, then add Slack Send Channel Message and map the work order fields.
