Slack SMS Workflows
Workflows can run right in Slack, or connect with other tools and services. Any member of a Slack workspace on a paid plan can use Workflow Builder to create custom workflows. With this workflow, your team can quickly send SMS and bulk sms all without leaving Slack.
A few uses for this workflow:
Sales: Sending Bulk SMS to new sales opportunities
Support: Sending SMS to customers all in Slack
Reminders: Trigger SMS notification reminders
Workflows are channel specific. Click on the ⚡ and select "Open Workflow Builder"
The trigger you pick for your workflow determines how it will start. Workflows are channel-specific, and can only be used in the channel you choose. Depending on your business need select the appropriate trigger.
Trigger an SMS notification to all employees every Monday at 8 am.
Troubleshooting: If you do not see Send SMS and Bulk SMS steps you are running an older version of Clerk. Please re-install the app by navigating to https://clerk.chat and clicking on Add To Slack.
Select your Group and type your message. Once you are done click Save.
You are all set. Bulk SMS will now trigger every Monday at 8 am.
