Hi
I want to create a process for sending a personal message to a number of users. The list is in an Excel file. I connected Slack + Microsoft and I’m trying to build a process where the information in the file will be transferred to Slack and a message will be sent to the users.
Hey @npnp hope all is well, and welcome to the community.
Would you like to add a bit more context to your message as to what you are struggling with, what you have tried etc?
I don’t understand how I transfer the list of users from the Excel file to whom I want to send the message to Slack.
Ok, so you have an excel file, containing a list of usernames and you would like to send this list of a recipient in Slack. First your automation needs to read the excel file. If it is something you want to upload into the process, you can you a form trigger with file property. Then you need to read the file content, this can be done with Extract From File node. After the content is extracted, you will need to connect the Slack node and send the extracted information using Send a message method (operation).
This works for me, I wonder if it is possible to have an interactive conversation with the user? And then put all the answers into the file
There is a Send and Wait in Slack node I think, although I never tried that myself.
