For our customers who use Slack, either their own internal space or our partner/customer space (not on our Slack space yet? we can invite you! email us and request access), then it's easy to find out when new forms are published.

Customers can get notices when any form is published directly to their Slack channel or a new channel they create. You have the choice to have all public Quik! form libraries, a few of them, or just one library added to your channel.

This automation is performed with Zapier automatically using our RSS feed. To start the process, sign up for a free Zapier.com account. Next, get the RSS feed you want to send to Slack - please let us know which libraries you want and we'll send you the RSS feed URL. You must also have your Slack login information and channel information for where you want the feed to show in Slack.

Follow the steps below:

1) Trigger

1. Once logged into Zapier, click on "Create" and you will be brought to this page:
   
   
   

2. Click on "Trigger" and then search "RSS" and connect it to Slack. 
   
   
   

3. For the "Event", choose the trigger "New Item in Feed" and then click "Continue".
   
   
   

4. Enter your customer RSS link provided by Quik! in the "Feed URL" section below. For "What Triggers a New Feed Item", select the default option: "Different Guid/URL (recommended)".
   

   1. To get all public libraries, the RSS URL is: 

      1. For Slack, use this shortened feed: http://rss.quikforms.com/SlackFormUpdatesRSS.aspx

      2. Or, for full details use this feed: http://rss.quikforms.com/FormUpdatesRSS.aspx

   2. To get only the forms for a single library, the RSS URL is: http://rss.quikforms.com/SlackFormUpdatesRSS.aspx?ID=### where the "#" is replaced by a number representing the form library - contact us for the correct ID value.
      
      

      1. To view private libraries via RSS, please contact so that we can allow your library to be shown in an RSS Feed. Note: this means that your RSS Feed will be public.
         
         

5. You will be given the option to test your trigger. This is optional and not required to complete set up.
   
   
   

6. If testing, you will see several "New Item in Feed <x>" options. You can choose any of them to test the trigger.
   

2) Action

1. For the "Action", choose "Slack".
   
   
   

2. For the "Event", choose "Send Channel Message".
   
   
   

3. Connect your Slack account and press "Continue".
   
   

4. Customize how your Channel Message appears in Slack. Be sure to select the correct channel where you want the feed to show. Click on the extra options icon next to the required inputs to choose other content. We suggest the default Message Text of "Description". (Note: Start typing "Description" and the field will appear for you to click on it.) You can also enter who the message poster will be. Here, we have chosen the Zapier Bot. You can also add your own bot image or logo by entering an image URL. When finished, click continue.
   
   
   

5. Next, send a test message to your Slack channel.
   
   
   

6. Once a successful test is complete, click on "Publish" to turn your Zap on. Now, the channel will automatically post any new forms that are published in the libraries you chose.
   
   
   

7. You can toggle your Zap on or off at the top any time at the top of the page:
