Get a Slack alert when a QuickMail reply asks about pricing

When a QuickMail reply contains words like pricing, cost or quote, Master Inbox posts it to a deal desk channel in Slack so a senior rep answers buying questions first.

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. This workflow also uses conditions: add them under trigger_config.conditions, as shown on the conditions page.

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 '{
  "name": "Get a Slack alert when a QuickMail reply asks about pricing",
  "trigger_type": "incoming_message",
  "trigger_config": {
    "channel_ids": [
      "-1"
    ]
  },
  "action_configs": [
    {
      "action_type": "slack_notify",
      "payload_variables": [
        "name",
        "company_name",
        "label_names",
        "text",
        "thread_url"
      ],
      "show_draft": true
    }
  ]
}'

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: "Get a Slack alert when a QuickMail reply asks about pricing". 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

Can I add more keywords?

Yes. The message condition takes a list of words, and it matches any of them.

Does this work for other sequencers?

Yes. Pick Smartlead, Instantly, EmailBison or any other connected channel on the trigger.

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.
