Race directors, camp organisers and event teams use RedPodium for sign-ups, payments and merchandise. FlowMattic posts each published form, new registration, processed deposit, coupon change and inventory update to Slack, so volunteers, finance and the event lead each see the part they look after.

When RedPodium fires Form Published, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.

RedPodium and Slack workflows you can build
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 template
Tell the team when a registration form goes live
Once a form is published, the event channel gets the name and link, so marketing can start promoting it and volunteers can test the sign-up flow.
Every sign-up appears with the participant and the category they chose, which gives the organising team a running feel for numbers in the weeks before the event.
New Registrations→Send Channel Message
Warn the merch lead when inventory runs low
Inventory Supply fires when stock is changed. A Filter on the remaining quantity sends a direct message to whoever orders shirts or medals before a size sells out.
Inventory Supply→Filter→Send Direct Message
Send deposits and subscription payments to finance
Processed deposits and recurring payments go to a private finance channel, so the treasurer can match them to the bank without opening RedPodium reports.
Discount codes are easy to share too widely. Posting each new or changed coupon to the event lead's channel means an unexpected 100-off code gets noticed.
A new channel named after the form, with its link in the topic, gives each event its own space for volunteers and staff from the day registration opens.
Form Published→Create Channel→Set Channel Topic
Remind finance to chase the balance after a deposit
When a deposit comes in, Add Reminder sets a follow-up for the person who collects balances, so part-paid places do not stay part-paid until race week.

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
Coupon Creation / Edit fires for both new and changed coupons. Include the coupon's details in the message so readers can tell which happened.
The fields RedPodium sends depend on the event, so the mapping above is an example. Check a captured registration before building filters on category or quantity.
A busy race can bring hundreds of sign-ups in a day. Post registrations to a dedicated channel so they do not bury planning discussion.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic
RedPodium and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Volunteers see numbers without a login
Registration posts in Slack let the wider crew follow sign-ups without being given access to payments and participant records in RedPodium.
Money and discounts get a second look
Deposits and coupon changes reach finance and the event lead, so payment issues and leaked codes are spotted early.
Busy sign-up days cost nothing extra
FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so the day registration opens costs the same as a quiet week.
Common questions
How do I post RedPodium registrations to Slack?
Create a FlowMattic workflow with the RedPodium New Registrations trigger, link your account as the trigger describes, then add Slack Send Channel Message and map the participant and category fields into the text.
Can I post registrations for each event to a different channel?
Yes. Add a Router after New Registrations with one path per form or event name, each with its own Send Channel Message step. That suits clubs running several races a season.
Can I get a low-stock warning for merchandise?
Yes. Start from Inventory Supply, add a Filter that passes only when the quantity in the captured data is below your limit, then send a direct message to the person who reorders.
Will participants' personal details end up in Slack?
Only the fields you put in the message. Many organisers post the name and category only, and keep emails, phone numbers and medical notes in RedPodium.
Can I see a daily count instead of every sign-up?
Yes. Use a Counter after New Registrations to keep a running total, and include it in the message, or post every tenth sign-up with a Filter on the count.
