1.Monitor recognition channel posts
Integrate Slack and collaboration tools to pass new channel messages to the workflow for milestone detection.
Send milestone kudos to employees and HR via DM

Get instant milestone kudos when milestone-style posts arrive, user mentions resolve, or HR coordinator visibility is included—so you can extract milestone details, resolve employee names, and send direct messages without manual follow-up.
How this automation sends milestone kudos to your employees
When milestone-style posts sit in a Slack channel, kudos delivery can stall and employees miss timely recognition. This automation monitors recognition posts and sends direct messages to employees and HR after it extracts details and resolves Slack users—so your team can keep recognition consistent.

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
