When a shared folder is updated, Slack posts a summary message detailing which files were modified or added.
When a new document is uploaded by a specific team member, Slack sends a notification tagging them for visibility.
When a file is deleted or replaced in Dropbox, Slack posts an alert to help teams maintain version control.
When a project folder receives a new upload, Activepieces sends a direct message to the assigned project manager in Slack.
When a file name contains “report” or “invoice,” Slack posts it to the finance or analytics channel automatically.
