Log into Yoom and click "Try it" on the banner below.
Click "OK" when "The template has been copied" is displayed.
Click "When a message is sent to the space".

Click "Command Operation".
Select the output to branch and the branching conditions.

By clicking "+Add Another Condition", you can set up to 5 conditions.
Once set, save it.
Click "Send message to channel".
The action is "Send message to channel". Click "Next".
A screen called API Connection Settings will be displayed, so enter the necessary information.
First, select the destination channel ID to post to from the options.
Next, enter the message. You can also use the retrieved values from Step 3 to enter.
