Site owners, editors and admins rarely sit in wp-admin all day. FlowMattic sends what happens on your WordPress site to Slack: comments that need moderating, posts that just went live, new sign-ups and role changes that deserve a second look. It runs inside the same site it reports on, so there is nothing else to host.

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 templateModerators see the comment, the author and the post it belongs to in a channel, and can approve or reply from wp-admin before a thread goes cold.
New CommentSend Channel Message
View the template Writers, social managers and sales all hear about a new article together, with the title and link, so promotion can start the same day.
New PostSend Channel Message
Membership and course sites often care which role a new user got. A Router sends customers to one channel and new authors or vendors to another.

A change to administrator or editor is worth knowing about. The site admins get a private channel message with the user and the new role.

Look up the post and its author, find the author's Slack account by email and send a direct message, so writers know readers are responding.

Every Monday the workflow fetches posts of a chosen type and posts the list to Slack, giving the team one place to see what was published.

You will have a workflow that posts every new comment on your site to a Slack channel.
Add a Slack connection under Connects in FlowMattic. WordPress is your own site, so no connection is needed for it.
Create a workflow and choose the WordPress New Comment trigger.
Comment on any post so FlowMattic captures the comment's fields, including the post ID and author.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
WordPress and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
FlowMattic is a plugin on the same WordPress site, so comments and user details go straight from your database to Slack.
Runs are unlimited, so a site with hundreds of comments a day does not need a bigger plan to report each one.
With WordPress triggers for everything from logins to post meta changes, you can report on site activity that outside tools cannot see.
FlowMattic listens for WordPress events such as New Post, New Comment or New User on your site and runs a Slack action like Send Channel Message. You build and test the workflow in wp-admin, and it runs on your server.
Yes. Add a Filter after the trigger that checks the post type or category the trigger sends, and continue only when it matches.
Yes. Use the User Login trigger, filter on the user's role and send a private channel message or a direct message to the site owner.
New User fires for any account created on the site, whatever plugin created it. Add a Router or Filter on the role so shop customers, students and staff go to different channels.
Not from Slack itself, since Slack has no triggers here. You can create posts with the New Post action from other triggers, such as a form, a sheet row or a Webhook.
