  2. Scroll down to "Scopes" and click "Add an OAuth Scope".
  3. Add the necessary scopes like:
  • channels:read

  • users:read
  1. Once you've added the scopes, click on "Install App to Workspace" to get the OAuth token. Save that token for later.

  3. Click "Add New Webhook to Workspace".
  4. Pick the channel you want to post to and click "Allow".

Step 4: Build Adalo App

  1. Log in to your Adalo account and either create a new app or open an existing one.
  2. Set up the forms or fields from which you want to send data to Slack.

Step 5: Add Custom Actions in Adalo

  1. Click on the component (like a button) that will trigger the Slack message.
  2. Open the "Actions" tab.
  3. Click "Add Another Action".
  4. Choose "Custom Action".
  5. Click "New Custom Action" and give it a fitting name.

Step 6: Configure the Custom Action

  1. In the custom action configuration:
  • Set the "Method" to POST.
  • Set the "URL" to the Webhook URL you copied from Slack.
  1. Under "Headers":
  • Add a new header with "Key" as Content-Type and "Value" as application/json.
  1. Under "Body":
  • Set the type to JSON.
  • Use this JSON template to structure your Slack message:
{
  "text": "Your message here",
  "channel": "your-channel-id",
  "username": "your-app-name"
}
  1. Replace the placeholders with dynamic data from Adalo if needed.

Step 7: Save and Test

  1. Save the configured custom action.
  2. Go back to your app and trigger the action that should send the message to Slack.
  3. Check if the message shows up in the selected Slack channel.

By following these steps, Slack should be successfully integrated with Adalo, allowing for seamless communication and task automation.
