    • Trigger for Bot Messages?

      If no, only messages sent by users will trigger the Zap. If yes, messages sent by users and slackbots will trigger the Zap.

      Warning: Slackbots don't have profiles. If yes, don't depend on user profile information being present. Also, avoid Zap loops where Zaps trigger and post slackbot messages to the same channel!
