The Send a Slack alert to the team when a new Bookingmood payment is created workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Bookingmood, Slack — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Bookingmood keeps your reservations and the payments tied to them, but the people who care about money coming in often spend their day in Slack. Checking the dashboard for new payments is one more tab to watch. This workflow posts a short note to Slack each time Bookingmood records a payment.

The Bookingmood trigger, Payments Created, fires when a payment is created in your account. Its details, such as the amount and the booking it belongs to, become values you can map. The Slack step then runs Send Channel Message and posts the text you write, filled with those values, to the channel you pick.

Created is not the same as paid. Bookingmood treats Payments Created and Payments Paid as separate events, so a new payment record may not mean the money has arrived yet. If you only want to hear about money received, switch to the Payments Paid trigger. Every run, and the response from Slack, shows up in Task History.

Holiday rental owner tracking deposits

You let out two cottages through Bookingmood. A Slack note for each new payment record lets you and your partner see deposits arrive without both checking the dashboard.

Front desk and accounts in one channel

A small guesthouse posts every new Bookingmood payment to a #payments channel, where the person doing the books matches them against bank entries.

Activity provider watching bookings fill

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Want alerts only for money received? Switch the trigger to Bookingmood's Payments Paid event and send a test payment to see which fields it brings in.
Send Channel Message suits public channels. For a private one, change the Slack action to Send Private Channel Message, which FlowMattic lists separately.
Add a Google Sheets Add New Row step after the Slack step to keep a running log of Bookingmood payments that you can total each month.

Questions about this workflow

Does a Bookingmood payment have to be paid before Slack hears about it?

No. The trigger fires when the payment record is created, which may be before the guest has paid. Use the Payments Paid trigger instead if that difference matters to you.

Can the Slack alert go to one person instead of a channel?

Yes. Replace Send Channel Message with Slack's Send Direct Message action, set it up for the team member who handles payments, and run a test.

Will older Bookingmood payments be posted to Slack?

No. Only payments created after you switch the workflow on start a run. Earlier ones stay in Bookingmood and aren't sent to Slack.

What Bookingmood details can I show in the Slack message?

Any value the Payments Created trigger returns. Create a test payment, then map the captured fields into the message text in the Slack step.
