1. What is your feature/integration request? Ability to export to a Slack Channel or DM 2. What problem would this feature/integration solve? This would enable multiple people to review the results of an automation more efficiently then email. 3. How do you solve/workaround this problem today? Email with attachment ---

@Sam_Floyd – would love a native integration to make this easier, but you can use the API export to post to Slack. I worked on this recipe a while back: [https://parabola.io/recipes/intercom-customer-engagement-summary](https://parabola.io/recipes/intercom-customer-engagement-summary). What you’ll need to do: 1. Create a column called “text” (with the message you want to send) 2. You’ll need to create a Webhooks integration in Slack here: [https://slack.com/apps/A0F7XDUAZ-incoming-webhooks](https://slack.com/apps/A0F7XDUAZ-incoming-webhooks). 3. Use the `API Export` step: copy the API endpoint URL from Slack and make sure to include this at the end of the link: “?parse=full”. Let me know if that works! Here to help if you run into any issues. ---

Can confirm this approach works well for simple notifications to channels. It’s not going to give you an option for delivery of some sort of result payload like a CSV attachment. ---

Hi @andrew, I tried your very helpful steps and got an error stating “invalid\_payload”. I created a column called “text” which has about 10 rows and the API endpoint url is the slack webhook url with ?parse=full added at the end. Would you happen to know what might be causing the issue? ---

Figured out the issue. Adding this in the request body did the trick: { “text”: “{text}” } ---
