Business Owner
Grant engineering team licenses automatically
Streamline license approvals by automating license assignments. When a Slack message is posted to a specific channel to request software access, Zapier immediately assigns the appropriate license to the user in Google Workspace Admin. This eliminates delays, prevents bottlenecks, and improves access efficiency.

When a new Google Workspace user is created, Zapier instantly notifies a specific Slack channel, ensuring the team has immediate awareness and can act promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions about Google Workspace Admin + Slack integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Workspace Admin and Slack
How do I set up an integration between Google Workspace Admin and Slack?
You can set up an integration through our platform by creating a Zap. A Zap is an automated workflow that connects your Google Workspace Admin account to Slack. Start by selecting Google Workspace Admin as your trigger app and choosing a specific event, like 'New User Created,' as your trigger. Then connect Slack and set it as the action app, where you can choose actions like sending a channel message whenever the trigger occurs.
What types of triggers can be used with Google Workspace Admin?
For integrating Google Workspace Admin with Slack, we currently support triggers such as 'New User Created', 'User Suspended', and 'User Deleted'. These events can automatically prompt actions in Slack, like posting updates to a specific channel or sending direct messages.
Are there any specific permissions needed to integrate Google Workspace Admin with Slack?
Yes, for the integration to work correctly, you'll need admin-level access to the Google Workspace account to authorize our platform. Additionally, you’ll need permission within your Slack workspace to add new apps and integrations.
Can I customize the notifications sent from Google Workspace Admin to Slack?
Absolutely! When setting up your integration, you have control over what information is included in notifications. For example, when a 'New User Created' trigger is activated in Google Workspace Admin, you can customize the channel message format in Slack by including details such as the user's name and email address.
What happens if the integration fails or disconnects unexpectedly?
If your integration between Google Workspace Admin and Slack disconnects or encounters an error, our platform will send you an email notification immediately. You can also track errors via your dashboard where troubleshooting steps are provided.
How frequently does data sync between my Google Workspace Admin and Slack?
The data sync frequency depends on how you've set up your Zap. Triggers from Google Workspace Admin are checked every minute for apps on paid plans and every 15 minutes for free plans. Immediate updates will occur once these triggers fire based on conditions you've established.
Is it possible to pause or stop the integration temporarily?
Yes, you can pause any active Zaps at any time straight from your dashboard without affecting other integrations running simultaneously. This gives you flexibility if you need to temporarily halt interactions between Google Workspace Admin and Slack.
