is it possible to recieve a notification on slack whenever there is a new signup on my site via retool ?
Has anyone been able to figure this out?
I think you can trigger the slack post message API chat.postMessage method | Slack
to send the email, or any other data when user clicks on sign up.
Hey @sarthak,
You mean a user registration on an external site of yours, not your retool account right?
For this use-case I would probably use an automation tool like Zapier, Make or N8n because Retool queries are only running if the app is open (That will change soon with background queries tho ).
Given that you want a Trigger
(user registration) to perform an Action
(send slack message) I would implement a callback on your website that sends an API request to a receiver (automation tool) to propagate that message to slack.
If you, hardcore, only want to use Retool for the job, I would do something like this:
- Create a query that periodically crawls your user database
- You'll need some logic to determine how to label a user as new
- You could use the
created_at
timestamp for example and each day only crawl the users that registered on that day
- You could use the
- Create another Query that sends that info to Slack
This is very high-level. If you're still interested in this let me know and I'll elaborate.
Hi @minijohn, I have the same situation.
I need to get new leads info to be sent to one of our Slack channel. Can you help me with this?
Hello @minijohn, I need to create a workflow similar to this (actually, exactly like this)

timestamp for example and each day only crawl the users that registered on that day
