Synap runs courses, timed exams and practice tests. FlowMattic tells instructors and course teams in Slack when learners register for an exam, submit it, flag a question or buy from the store, and when a result needs a tutor's attention. For training providers, tutoring companies and internal academies.

Synap Academy 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
Post Synap Academy exam registrations to the course channel
Each registration shows the learner and the exam, so instructors know how many people to expect and can plan invigilation or support.
A direct message to the exam's instructor with the learner and exam name means written answers get marked promptly, not at the end of the week.
Submitted Exam→Send Direct Message
Send flagged questions to the content team
When a learner flags a question, the content channel gets the question and exam, so a confusing or wrong question is fixed before more learners hit it.
Flag Planted→Send Channel Message
Alert tutors when a learner fails an exam
A Filter on the final score passes results below the pass mark to a private tutors' channel, so a tutor can offer help before the learner books a retake.

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
Submitted Exam fires when the learner submits, and Completed Exam fires once marking is done. Use Completed Exam for anything that depends on the score.
Submitted Attempts and Completed Attempt cover any test or exam attempt, including practice tests, so they can be busy. Filter on the exam name if you only want some.
Field names come from Synap's event data, so the mapping above is an example.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic
Synap Academy and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Marking happens sooner
Instructors hear about submissions directly, so learners get their results while the exam is still fresh.
Struggling learners get help
Failed results reach tutors privately, which turns a bad score into a support conversation instead of a dropout.
Big cohorts cost the same
FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so exam week with hundreds of attempts adds no per-task charge.
Common questions
How do I send Synap Academy exam events to Slack?
Create a FlowMattic workflow with a Synap Academy trigger such as Submitted Exam or User Registered for Exam, link your platform, then add Slack Send Channel Message with the learner and exam fields.
Can scores be logged in a table too?
Yes. Add an Airtable or WP Tables step after Completed Exam to record the learner, exam and score, then message the instructor in Slack.
Can each course post to its own channel?
Yes. Use a Router or Lookup Table on the exam or course name to pick the channel, so each instructor's channel shows only their learners.
Will learners' scores be visible to everyone?
Only where you post them. Send scores to private tutor channels or by direct message, and keep public channels to registrations and counts.
