1.Detect pushed saved message
Integrate Slack and message parsing tools to extract the reporter and message text to trigger scan work.
Start vulnerability scan from team message and DM results
Automatically detect vulnerability reports in Slack saved messages and use Storage by Zapier, Code by Zapier, and Webhooks by Zapier across IT workflows. Start scans when an identifier is found, then DM the reporter with the session link and statusβso you can avoid manual credential lookups, parsing errors, and scan delays.
How this automation starts faster scan sessions
When a vulnerability is reported in a saved Slack message, delays can leave exposures unaddressed. This automation parses the identifier, calls your scanning API, and DMs the reporter with session statusβso your team can act immediately.

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.
