How this automation works

Get real-time Slack alerts when a Smartsheet row's status changes. The Applet runs whenever the selected status column changes on any row in your chosen Smartsheet sheet and posts a formatted message to the Slack channel you pick. Keep teams informed of progress, handoffs, or workflow updates by sending Smartsheet status changes to Slack for project managers and collaborators. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
