2. Click on the Integrations tab, then click on Slack.

Affinity Field Updates to a Slack Channel

For updates that you/your team members make to certain fields, they will be pushed to a specific Slack channel. This integration requires some additional guidance for steps 5 and 7, so please reach out to our Solutions Team (solutions@affinity.co).

1. Within the Affinity Field Updates to a Slack Channel integration, click Select.
   
   
   
2. Click Configure new solution.
   
   
   
3. Authenticate your Slack account, then click Next.
   
   
   
4. Select which Affinity Field and Field Value will be considered as the trigger. For Field, the dropdown options will be in the following format: [List Name] Field Name. For Field Value, type out the field value(s) depending on what is available in the Field. Once you're done, click Next.
   
   
   
5. Add some additional filter conditions for increased specificity (optional). This requires you to use Affinity's API to receive the relevant field IDs, so please reach out to our Solutions Team (solutions@affinity.co). If you don't need additional filter conditions, you can skip this step.
   
   
   
6. Select which Slack channel you'd like to push the notes into. Create a new Slack channel dedicated to these notes if you'd like.
   
   
   
7. To embed fields and field values as a custom message, please reach out to our Solutions Team (solutions@affinity.co).
