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 → Branch → Slack
5 steps
Google Sheets
TRIGGER
Google Sheets · Update Specific Column Value
The workflow starts automatically when a specific column value is updated in the spreadsheet in Google Sheets. FlowMattic captures that data for the steps below.
Branch
LOGIC
Branch · Above threshold?
The Branch evaluates "Above threshold?": when it's true the Yes path runs, otherwise the No path runs — two outcomes, one workflow.
Slack
ACTION
Slack · Send Channel Message
On the Yes path (condition met) — 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 Yes path (condition met) — 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 No path (otherwise) — 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.
