How Zapier works

Zapier makes it easy to integrate Slack with Google Docs - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.

Select a trigger from Slack

A trigger is an event that starts your Zap and runs the workflow. For example, with Slack, a trigger could be "New Public Message Posted Anywhere."

A trigger is the event that kicks off your automated workflow.

Setup an action from Google Docs

An action is what takes place after the automation is triggered. For example, with Google Docs, the action could be "Append Text to Document."

An action is the event that your automated workflow performs when triggered.
