Log every reply to a shared Google Sheet and post it to Slack

Each reply is sent by webhook to Zapier or Make, which adds a row to a shared Google Sheet, and posted to Slack with the campaign and company, so everyone shares one simple lead log.

Or create it with the API

Everything in the workflow builder is also in the Master Inbox API. This request creates the same workflow. Replace the example ids with your own label, list and campaign ids from GET /workflows/filter-fields.

curl -X POST https://api.masterinbox.com/api/api-webhook/v1/api/workflows/create-workflow \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MASTER_INBOX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

  "trigger_type": "incoming_message",
  "trigger_config": {
    "channel_ids": [

Or ask Claude, ChatGPT or Grok to build it

Our workflow guide is written for AI agents to read. Give your assistant your API key and this prompt:

Read https://app.masterinbox.com/public-workflow-api.md and use my Master Inbox API key to create this workflow: "Log every reply to a shared Google Sheet and post it to Slack". First call GET /workflows/filter-fields and look up my label, list and channel ids, then create the workflow and tell me what you set up.

Questions

Is there a native Sheets action?

The app's workflow builder has Add row to Google Sheet. It is app only, so this version uses a webhook.

Can I log only positives?

Yes. Add a label sentiment is positive condition.

Can I build this workflow through the API?

Yes. Send the create-workflow request shown on this page with your Master Inbox API key. The API checks the payload first and lists every problem by field if anything is off.
