How it works
Getting started
- 1
Identify the events that need real-time alerts (e.g., new high-value deal, failed charge, 1-star review)
- 2
Create a Zap with the trigger app and event (e.g., new Stripe charge failed, new G2 review under 3 stars)
- 3
Add a filter step to only notify for events meeting your criteria (amount > $500, rating < 3, etc.)
- 4
Configure the notification action — Slack message, email, SMS via Twilio, or Teams message
- 5
Include relevant details in the notification body using mapped fields from the trigger
