We manually invite our new team members but created custom verbiage to tell the user that they’ll be meeting with a member of the Project Management Office to review the Guru initiative in our organization during their new hire orientation. 

Hey @Alice Jin 

I remember brainstorming this one with you a couple months back, but since your use case involves inviting someone to Guru if they join a specific Slack channel (as opposed to joining your Slack team in general), we were struggling to come up with a solution since the Slack triggers in Zapier don’t allow for that.

However, I found some more helpful tools on Slack’s website - they have a member_joined_channel webhook that you could create. You could set up something in Zapier that listens for that webhook, and if the channel = XYZ, then look up the user to get their email address from Slack, then use the Guru: Invite User action in Zapier.

Here’s an example of the payload you’d get from the member_joined_channel webhook:

{
    "type": "member_joined_channel",
    "user": "W06GH7XHN",
    "channel": "C0698JE0H",
    "channel_type": "C",
    "team": "T024BE7LD",
    "inviter": "U123456789"
}

Let me know if this makes sense or if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Joe

Thanks Joe! Will speak to our IT guy and see what we can do - appreciate this!
