Create your own Slack and Slashdot workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
3 triggers, queries, and actions
New story
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This trigger fires each time there is a new article on Slashdot.
History of stories
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of new articles on Slashdot.
Post to channel
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This Action will post a message to the channel you choose in Slack.
