Step 3: Set Up Slack Trigger Action

Now let’s set up the trigger action. 

Click on the Slack trigger action item. 

Give your trigger a title (optional). Confirm the pre-configured settings and click “Next”.

‍Set your trigger interval (how often you want Yoom to check Slack for new updates). It can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. We recommend setting the trigger to the shortest activation interval available for your plan. 

⚠️ Note: The trigger interval varies depending on your Yoom plan. ‍Be sure to check your current plan’s limit. ‍

Make a test post on Slack, then click “Test”. If the test succeeds, click “Save”.

Step 4: Generate Content with Gemini

Click on “Generate Content”.

Give your action a title (optional). Check the pre-configured settings and click “Next”.

Let’s enter the required fields. 

‍Select the Gemini model you want to use. 

Give Gemini an instruction based on the example provided below. Select the "retrieved values" from Slack in the previous step. By setting it as shown below, you can automatically share the Slack data to Gemini.

📚 Reference: For more details on retrieved values and how to set it up, see the guide here.

Once set, run a test. If the test succeeds, click “Save”.

Step 5: Send a Message to the Slack Channel

Click on the Slack action item.

Give your action a title (optional). Check the pre-configured settings, then click “Next”.

Select the Destination Channel ID (where you want to post the message) from the displayed options. 

Set the Message to be shared on Slack.
You can use the retrieved values from the previous actions and customize your message. By using the retrieved value from Gemini, you can automatically send the generated content from Gemini to Slack. 

Once set, run a test. If successful, the message will be sent in Slack. Then hit "Save".

Step 6: Activate the Flowbot

Toggle the "Trigger On" button to activate your flow! Check if the Flowbot you set up is working properly.
