Send new community replies to your support channel

Automatically capture new community replies across Gainsight Customer Communities and Slack. Get instant alerts when reply created, topic reply posted, or community response addedβ€”so you can review reply summaries, identify authors, and respond without manual triage.

How this automation accelerates your community support triage

When new community replies appear, responses can stall and context gets lost across inboxes. This automation captures reply content and enriches author details, then posts channel alertsβ€”so your team can respond sooner.
