Configuring Individual Steps

Step 4: Post message to user as Workbot

Step 4 requires that a message recipient be specified. You can toggle between selecting a channel from a list or entering a custom value.

Follow these steps to have all project notes shared to the same Teams Channel:

  1. Click on the Action.

  2. In the Setup Tab of the Configuration Pane, scroll to the Message recipient section.

  3. Toggle the first dropdown to "Select from list."

  4. Select the Channel you wish to have notes posted to from the list.

Additionally, with step four you can adjust the contents of the message (See the Optional Step 4 configuration to learn how).

(Optional) Step 1: Webhook in GUIDEcx

By default, the recipe will only trigger if the note added is Public or if it contains "#teams" as part of the message. This can be customized.

Follow these steps to edit the trigger phrase used within the recipe:

  1. Click on the Action.

  2. In the Setup Tab of the Configuration Pane, scroll down to the trigger conditions. In the first trigger condition update the value to the desired phrase.

Note: The value used in the trigger condition needs to be all lowercase. This is because the trigger is converting the contents of the note to all lowercase before checking if it contains the trigger phrase.

(Optional) Step 4: Post message to user as Workbot

In addition to specifying where to send the message, Step 4 allows you to adjust the contents of the message.

Follow these steps to configure the message:
