1.Monitors new channel messages
Integrate Slack to detect new message posts to a monitored channel and trigger incident processing.
Create incident records from monitoring messages for on-call
Automatically monitor new messages posted to Slack channels across Slack and Zapier Tables. Create and update when message arrives, thread starts, or a thread timestamp is capturedβso you can open incident records, log audit entries, and acknowledge threads without manual triage.
How this automation records incidents from monitoring
When new Slack monitoring messages arrive, delays can stall incident response and leave teams guessing what changed. This automation extracts fields and creates incident and audit records, then acknowledges the thread and fetches deeper contextβso your team can respond with complete traceability.

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 β 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.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
