1.Detects new mention
Integrate Slack to capture mention events, map the source username, and extract a message excerpt.
When new mentions arrive in Slack, delays can leave team members unreachable and repeated replies can clutter conversations. This automation monitors Slack mentions and filters duplicates, then it creates table records and sends out-of-office DMs—so your team replies once and keeps an audit trail.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
