Slack form to a Coda page - how?

Hi,

We currently have a sales team entering data and insights on a slack form which then is added to a slack channel as a kind of live feed of insights for the org.

I would like to take said forms and feed them directly into a few seperate coda pages - so we are keeping this information in an an organised manner

Theres a category for each slack form, so ideally i would like to have a page for each category - ie every insight on X goes to the X insight page and every insight on Y goes to the Y insight page

a) is this possible?
b) how would i go about doing it!?

any help much appreciado!

Thanks, Tom

Hey there!

We’ve made a Proof Of Concept for at team with something very similar. I can tell you it’s very possible!

Currently, the workflow looks kind of like the following:

  1. Create a slack workflow in your slack workspace or a channel that is triggered by a link
  2. Then, have the contents of the form sent to a google sheet
  3. Connect a Apps Script to that sheet which will send the contents of the newly added row to a Coda Webhook Invoked Automation
  4. Put a trigger on the apps script which triggers From Spreadsheet > On Change
  5. Configure your webhook invoked automation to populate a row in a Coda table with the information from the google sheet row which is correspondingly the information from the slack form
  6. Configure the doc with different pages that contain different views of the table depending on the information from the filled out form

Let us know if you need more info or help!

another option: if you use a tool like zapier, you can configure the slack form to add a new row to coda directly

haha yes. Easier.

Im always trying the zapier-less route

Fair enough. I just try find that for a no code/low code tool, coda’s community sure does assume everyone knows quite a bit about coding!
