1.Captures channel message details
Integrate Slack to capture message text, timestamp, channel name, message link, and author identifiers for structured documentation.
Create searchable docs from channel messages for engineers
Automatically capture new message posts from configured Slack channels across Slack. Create searchable engineering docs and index incident and customer context when new top-level messages are posted, incident mentions appear, or customer details are shared—so you can create markdown docs, attach metadata, and improve retrieval without manual documentation.
How this automation creates searchable engineering knowledge
When new message posts land in your configured Slack channel, context can get buried and hard to retrieve later. This automation captures message details, filters out bot and threaded posts, builds markdown files, and uploads them to your vector store—so your team can search incident and customer context fast.

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.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
