Is there way to reduce operation amount of Slack Event module?

Hi all!

I am using the slack ‘New Event’ module for slack’s reactions, but the number of operations increases because it picks up reactions of the whole slack, and the billing increases.
My boss told me, ‘If you can’t reduce the number of operations, we have to stop using Make.’
I would like to be able to pick up only the reactions of a specific channel in slack, or only the reactions of a specific stamp, but is there any way to do this?

Hi there.

As far as I can tell, we’re not able to filter channels while creating the Slack webhook for watching new reactions:

So, I’m afraid your only option is to use the filters in the Make scenario after the webhook, but I guess you knew about this and the filter is already in place.

You can also try to contact Slack’s support directly and ask them whether it is possible to receive a webhook when there is a reaction in the specific channel. If yes, then you could use the “Custom webhook” trigger in Make.

Cheers,
