Post emailed messages to Slack channel
How this automation works
Notify your team in Slack when a new Motion task is created. It runs whenever Motion's New task created trigger fires and posts the task details to the Slack channel you choose. Keep teammates informed of new work—useful for product, engineering, or support teams using Motion and Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
