This flow is recommended for situations where you use Slack as a communication tool and want to manage files with Outlook.
Let's get started by creating a flow that integrates Slack and Outlook! This time, we'll use Yoom to proceed with the integration of Slack and Outlook without any coding. If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please create one using the registration form here.
[What is Yoom]
In this session, we will create a flow that integrates data into Outlook when a specific message is received in Slack!
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps.
First, let's connect Slack and Outlook with My Apps.
After logging into Yoom, click "New Connection" from "My Apps" in the left menu.
1. Search for "Slack" and select Slack from the list of apps.
2. Sign in to the Slack account you want to connect with Yoom. Then, configure the following settings:
After completing the settings, click "Allow".
If administrator approval is required, please refer to the help page.
This completes the My Apps connection for Slack.
Note: Microsoft365 (formerly Office365) has plans for home use and general business use (Microsoft365 Business). If you are not subscribed to the general business plan, authentication may fail.
1. Search for "Outlook" and select Outlook from the list of apps.
2. Enter the email address of the Microsoft account you want to connect with Yoom.
3. Enter the password.
This completes the My Apps connection for Outlook.
For the registration procedure and precautions for My Apps in Microsoft365 services, please also refer to this page.
Once the My Apps connection is complete, let's quickly set up the template.
Click "Try it" on the banner below to copy the template.
When the template is copied to Yoom, the following screen will appear, so press "OK".
(1) Click on "When a new message is posted in the channel" at the top of the template.
(2) Enter the account information of the Slack you want to integrate with and click "Next".
The information of the account you integrated with is automatically entered by default.
(3) Configure Slack's [API Connection Settings].
Select thetrigger interval will be activated from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
※ The activation interval varies depending on the plan, so please be careful.
(4) Set the channel ID where the messages that will trigger the flowbot will be received in "Channel ID".
A list of channel IDs in the integrated Slack will be displayed under "Optiomns".
Select the channel ID you want to set in the flow.
Once the settings are complete, send a message on Slack and click "Test" to conduct a test.
If the test is successful, click "Save" to complete the settings.
(1) Click on "Command Operation" in the template.
(2) It is automatically set, but confirm that the following contents are set.
※ Branching is a feature available in plans above the mini plan. If you are on a free plan, the operation of the flowbot you set will result in an error, so please be careful. During the free trial, branching settings are possible.
(3) Set the conditions for the branching process in "Branch Condition".
For example, if you set "Equal to" and "Issue", the branching process will only occur if the word "Issue" is included in the message body of Slack.
Additionally, by clicking "+ Add Another Condition", you can set up to 5 branching conditions.
Please set it according to your business needs.
Once the settings are complete, click "Save" to complete the settings.
(1) Click on "Send Email" in the template.
(2) Select the account information to integrate.
(3) Set the Email cContent.
(4) Confirm the content of the email to be sent.
If there are no issues, try executing "Test".
In practice, the obtained output will be reflected in the email body.
If the test is successful, the settings are complete.
With this, all settings are complete.
Once the settings are complete, a pop-up like the one below will be displayed, so turn on the trigger.
