WP Tables keeps spreadsheet-style data inside your WordPress database: requests, inventory, applications, project lists. FlowMattic tells Slack when that data changes, from a new row to one watched cell, and lets anyone send a row to a colleague with the table's button. It is for teams who track work in WP Tables and talk about it in Slack.

1. TriggerUpdated Cell2. ActionSend Channel MessageWhen WP Tables fires Updated Cell, 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 templateWatch one column, such as Status or Priority. When it changes, the channel hears which row moved and its new value, without noise from other edits.
Updated CellSend Channel Message
View the template New requests, sign-ups or tickets added to the table are announced with their key columns, so someone picks them up straight away.
New RecordSend Channel Message
Clicking the trigger button on a row sends its details as a direct message to the person named in the Owner column.
Trigger Workflow Button ClickedFind User by EmailSend Direct Message
A new row posts to the approvals channel, the workflow waits on the row's approve or reject button, and the requester gets a direct message with the outcome.

When a row is removed, its last values go to a private admin channel, which gives you a record if something was deleted by mistake.
Deleted RecordSend Private Channel Message
A Schedule finds every row still marked Open and posts them as one message, so the day starts with a clear queue.

When a row is added to the projects table, the person in its Assignee column is invited to the channel named in the row.

At the end, Slack posts a message each time the column you choose changes in your table.
Under Connects, add a Slack connection. WP Tables lives in your WordPress database and needs no connection.
Create a workflow with WP Tables and Updated Cell, pick the table and the column to watch, then change that cell once to capture the data.
Add Slack Send Channel Message, choose the channel and build the text from the row's name column and the new value.
Test the step, check the message in Slack and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
WP Tables and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Rows live in your own database and pass through your own server on the way to Slack.
The table's trigger button and approve or reject buttons let people act on a row and have Slack hear about it.
Runs are unlimited, so a table that changes all day can post every change without a usage bill.
Yes. Use New Record for added rows, Updated Record for any change, or Updated Cell for one column, followed by Slack Send Channel Message with the columns you want shown.
The decision is made with the approve or reject button in the table. Slack carries the request and the result: post the row to an approver, add Continue on Approve or Reject Button, then message the outcome.
Yes. Add a Router on a column such as Team or Priority, and give each path its own Send Channel Message with a different channel.
No. WP Tables stores its rows in your WordPress database, so there is no outside spreadsheet account. It works the same way in a workflow: row and cell triggers, and actions to find, update and delete records.
