Post emailed messages to Slack channel
How this automation works
Post a SendGrid contact's details to Slack whenever a Webhooks event includes the contact's email. When the Maker Webhooks json_event fires, the applet asks SendGrid for the matching contact using the email you provide and posts the contact's name and email to your Slack channel. Useful for alerting sales or ops teams about new leads or customer events via Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
