Web Clipper Template

Ever stumbled upon a goldmine of a website that you just had to share with your team, pronto? Our Web Clipper Template is here to help. With the Zapier Chrome browser extension, you can quickly save the URL for whatever web page you're on along with a note and have it populate a table. Then, send it to your team in Slack with a click.

No more copy-paste drudgery.

Why you should use this template

Not only can you save URLs, you can add some text in a note all neatly organized in a central database. From there, Zapier gives you connections to 6,000+ apps like Slack where you can send a custom note with the saved URL to your team with a simple button click. It's a direct line from your browser to Slack, cutting out the clutter and keeping your team in sync with the online resources you want to share.

How the template works

Here's how it plays out: you're surfing the web and—bam!—you find something share-worthy. With a click of the Zapier Chrome extension, you add a note and click “Send” to automatically tuck it into a Zapier Table.

Later on in the Zapier Table, review your existing note, add a custom Slack message, and then click “Send message”—it's off to your team's Slack channel via a trusty Zap. It's like having a digital carrier pigeon that never gets lost.

Steps to get started

To use this template, install the Zapier Google Chrome Extension. Then, configure the “Web Clipper Send Website to Team in Slack” workflow by viewing it in the connected Zaps section of the Table.

Authenticate and add your Slack account and choose the channel you'd like to send messages to. Test the Zap and publish it. Then you're ready to start clipping web content!
