Post emailed messages to Slack channel
How this automation works
Post a Xero account's current cash balance to Slack. When a Maker Webhooks json_event arrives, the Applet asks Xero for the chosen account's current balance and posts the result to the Slack channel you pick. Ideal for finance or operations teams who want immediate balance visibility after an external event via Webhooks using Xero and Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
