Yes, you can customize which fields from your Airtable base appear in the notifications sent to Slack. This allows you to highlight only relevant data and reduce unnecessary noise for your channels.
How do I set conditions for specific updates or notifications between Airtable and Slack?
Conditions are essentially filters that determine when a trigger fires. You can define these conditions based on field values or changes within the records so that only certain events lead to actions like sending a notification to Slack.
