Updated over 6 months ago

Our workflow template streamlines the process of sending interactive messages in Slack and managing responses in conjunction with parallel operations. Designed to enhance security operations, it enables teams to dispatch Slack Block Kit messages to users or channels and concurrently execute additional tasks. The workflow anticipates user feedback within a set time frame, updating the message accordingly or noting if no response is required. This template simplifies bidirectional communication and task automation in Slack, fostering efficient workflows and decision-making.
