What this workflow does
Teams split across tools miss things. Your company may use Talkspirit circles for projects or departments while some colleagues spend their day in Slack. This workflow carries circle activity across, so a post in Talkspirit also shows up where those people look.
The Talkspirit trigger watches one circle that you choose and fires when a new activity occurs in it. The details of that activity are passed to Slack, where Send Channel Message posts to the channel you pick. You write the message and decide which activity details appear in it, such as who posted and what they wrote.
As imported, every new activity in the circle produces one Slack message. Busy circles can therefore produce many posts. If you only want some of them, add a Filter between the two steps. Task History lists every Talkspirit activity the workflow passed to Slack.
Announcements circle mirrored to #general
Leadership posts news in a Talkspirit circle. The same updates appear in your Slack #general channel for staff who rarely open Talkspirit.
Partner circle updates for an internal team
You share a Talkspirit circle with an outside partner. New activity there is posted in a private Slack channel so your team can discuss it.
Project circle feeding a project channel
Each project has a Talkspirit circle and a Slack channel. One copy of this workflow per project keeps the channel informed of circle posts.

Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Add a Filter after the trigger if you only want certain activity in Slack, for example posts whose text contains a keyword.
- Include the author's name from the Talkspirit activity at the start of the Slack message so readers know who posted.
- To follow a second circle, clone the workflow, pick the other circle in the trigger and, if you like, a different Slack channel.
