Human Intervention via Slack

This guide shows how to use Slack for human intervention in your workflows.

Use Case Example:
When a new entry is added to a Google Sheet, a request is sent to Slack for human intervention. Once the user takes action in Slack, the status in the Google Sheet is updated, and an alert is sent to notify the user.

  1. New Entry in Google Sheet
    A new row is added to your Google Sheet, which triggers the workflow.
