Send Slack reply alerts on weekdays only

Why teams run it

Keeps alerts useful and quiet on weekends, so the channel is trusted when it does ping.

Set it up in Master Inbox

1. In Master Inbox, open Settings, then Workflows, and click Add a workflow.
2. Name it Send Slack reply alerts on weekdays only.
3. Set the trigger to Incoming Message and choose All channels.
4. Add a condition: Label sentiment is positive.
5. Add a condition: Day is Monday to Friday.
6. Add the action Notify in Slack: Post the reply, prospect and thread link to #sales.
7. Save the workflow and switch it to Active.

Before you start, connect Slack under Settings, Integrations.

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": "Send Slack reply alerts on weekdays only",
  "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
    }
  ]
}'
