This automation scenario allows you to connect PostgreSQL and Slack
It can be build using Zapier, a no-code workflow automation tool. Zapier allows you to create automated bots using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.
PostgreSQL and Slack can also be integrated using automation tools other than zapier:
When this trigger fires in PostgreSQL
Triggered when you add a new row.
Then this action happens in Slack
Post a new message to a specific #channel you choose. Can also schedule a message for later.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Post Slack messages for new rows added to PostgreSQL.
Part I
First, we need to connect PostgreSQL and Slack to Zapier.
Create Zapier account.
Create Zapier account if you don't have one.
Connect PostgreSQL to Zapier.
Give Zapier access to your PostgreSQL account, using PostgreSQL credentials.
Connect Slack to Zapier.
Give Zapier access to your Slack account, using Slack credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of Zapier.
Set up a Trigger action for PostgreSQL
Choose the following trigger: New Row (Triggered when you add a new row.).
Then set up an Action for Slack
Choose this action: Send Channel Message (Post a new message to a specific #channel you choose. Can also schedule a message for later.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between PostgreSQL and Slack.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will Post Slack messages for new rows added to PostgreSQL!
New message in channels (instant)
Triggers when a new message is posted to a specific #channel you choose.
Triggers when you save a message.
Triggers when you click the "Push to Zapier" button from a message in Slack.
Triggers when a new Slack user is created / first joins your org.
Triggers when a username or highlight word is mentioned in a public #channel.
Updates an existing row.
Finds a row in a table via a lookup column.
Delete row(s)
Execute sql query
Find row with custom query
Insert row
