How it works

Every step, explained

Import the template and this whole chain runs on autopilot — here's exactly what happens on each run.

Google Sheets → Router → Slack
5 steps
Google Sheets
TRIGGER
Google Sheets · New Or Updated Spreadsheet Row
The workflow starts automatically when a row is updated in the spreadsheet in Google Sheets. FlowMattic captures that data for the steps below.
Router
LOGIC
Router · 3 paths
The Router checks your conditions and sends each run down the matching path of 3 — Urgent, Important, Routine — so different cases get different actions.
Slack
ACTION
Slack · Send Channel Message
On the “Urgent” path — Slack — post or Schedule a new message to a specific #channel. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Slack account on import.
Email
ACTION
Email · Send Email
On the “Important” path — Email — send an email using built-in WP mail function or custom SMTP. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Email account on import.
Google Sheets
ACTION
Google Sheets · New Spreadsheet Row
On the “Routine” path — Google Sheets — trigger when a new row is added to the spreadsheet. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Google Sheets account on import.
