I am trying to send an email via Microsoft 365 every time there is an update in a specific public Slack channel that I have created. Here’s what my scenario looks like:
I’m not sure how to extract the data from my Slack message. Here’s what the Slack messages typically contain:
I’m trying to extract the blog published date and the URL to the Notion page (which is “Sara’s Assigned Blog Post List” out of this Slack notification so that another member of my team can then repurpose the blog post into social media content.
But for some reason I can’t get Slack to pass any type of link or message over.
I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do here.
Thanks so much in advance!
Looks like the scenario is stopping at the first module because there are no new items. Did you create a new message before the scenario ran?
Polling Triggers: Epoch Panel & Selecting Older Data
Go to the Epoch Panel, by right-clicking on the trigger module (polling triggers only), and select “Choose where to start” from the list of options in the context menu.
If you select “From now on”, the next time the scenario runs it will only return new data (or nothing if there is no new data).
You can also select other old data to re-run your scenario with next using the “Choose manually” option. This will then show you a list of previous historical items you can select to process the next time the scenario is triggered.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
