Post a message in Slack when a conversation is closed (archived) in Front

When a conversation is closed (archived) in Front, post a message in Slack.

Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.

Every step, in order

When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.

What each client fills in

Slack: Channel
For example #leads or C0123456789

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

  • Front

    In the client’s Front: Settings → Developers → API tokens → Create API token with the Shared resources namespace and the Read and Write permissions (Write for the contact step, Read for the triggers, which list events).

  • In the client’s Slack: api.slack.com/apps → Create New App → OAuth & Permissions → add the chat:write scope (and channels:history, plus groups:history for a private channel, for the message trigger) → Install to Workspace → copy the Bot User OAuth Token. Invite the app to the channel.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

  1. Connect the client’s Front, for “A conversation is closed (archived)”
  2. Connect the client’s Slack, for “Post a message”
  3. Fill in Slack: Channel (For example #leads or C0123456789)

Thrum is cooking.
