Analytics teams and the people who read their dashboards both need to know when a Qlik app changes. FlowMattic listens for Qlik app and user events and posts them to Slack: fresh data for the business channel, deletions and new users for admins, and a welcome message for each new viewer.

1. TriggerApps2. ActionSend Channel MessageWhen Qlik fires Apps, 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 templateCreated, reloaded, published and exported apps appear in one Slack channel, so the BI team has a running log of what changed and who changed it.
AppsSend Channel Message
View the template A Filter passes only reload events for the apps you choose, and the sales or finance channel hears that today's numbers are ready before the morning meeting.

A Router splits app events by type. Deletions go to a private admin channel where someone can confirm it was intended, while publishes go to the public channel.

When a user is created, the workflow finds them in Slack by email and sends links to the main apps and the channel where they can ask data questions.

Deleted users are posted to the admins' private channel with the date, which makes it easier to reconcile seats with HR leavers at the end of the month.

Each reload rewrites the topic of the reporting channel with a readable date, so anyone opening it can see how fresh the data is without opening Qlik.

At the end, each Qlik app event posts the app name and what happened to your analytics channel in Slack.
Under Connects, add a Slack connection with an account in the analytics channel.
Create a workflow with the Qlik Apps trigger and follow its instructions to send Qlik events to the workflow.
Reload or publish a test app in Qlik so FlowMattic captures the event type, app name and user.
Add Send Channel Message, choose the channel and build the text from the captured fields. Test it and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Qlik and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Reload alerts and a dated channel topic answer the question of whether today's numbers are in before anyone asks the BI team.
Deleted apps and removed users go to a private channel, separate from the routine publish and reload log.
FlowMattic has unlimited runs on every plan, so frequent reloads across many apps do not add per-task costs.
Add a Slack connection under Connects, create a workflow with the Qlik Apps or Users trigger and add a Send Channel Message step. Map the event type and app name into the text and switch it on.
Yes. Put a Filter after the Apps trigger that checks the event type is a reload and the app name or ID matches. Other apps and events stop at the Filter.
The trigger reports the events Qlik sends for apps, such as reloaded and data updated. Check the captured data of a failed reload in your tenant; if it carries a status field, a Filter on it can send failures to a separate channel.
Yes. After the Users trigger and a Filter for new users, use Find User by Email and then Invite User To Channel. The connected Slack account must already be in that channel.
