Slack Integration

I am using this functionality today but it very limiting and has a clunky feel to it in the Slack channel. It only displays partial information in the row which defeats the purpose of feeding into Slack which is so others can view and comment.

Is there anything on the roadmap to enhance that integration and maybe provide us with better control of what is fed into Slack?

I am having the same issues with Direct Messages. I have been searching for information on creating alerts and rules for over an hour, with no luck. I have enabled the app in Slack and allowed access. However, when I create a rule, it only gives me the option to send an alert to a channel. 

I've tried all of the basics - restarting the apps, logging out and in, etc. 

Any tips? 

Andree not sure if you were referring to my comment as well but that is not a bug it is how it functions.  What I want to know, is there anything on the roadmap to enhance the functionality with Slack because as it stands today it is not very useful, to the point I have removed it from a Closed Loop Feedback process I created. My goal was to make feedback submitted into Smartsheet visible to a large organization but what it is feeding does not do that.

I am having the same problem. I don't see any settings in the Smartsheet Automation when I create the alert to achieve this:

"Up to four cells can be displayed, starting from the leftmost cell on the row"

My alerts in the slack channel only show the Sheet Name, Primary Column, and then one random cell (Date Updated). Date Updated isn't even the left-most cell in the row. No other cells are shown.

It seems like there is something wrong with this functionality. 

Found how to add four or more columns here https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2479256-customize-the-content-of-your-alerts-and-requests

Note, I had to create a new Workflow to see the Advance Options, I could not see this in my existing workflow. I was able to select more than 4 fields from my Smartsheet, however only the leftmost 4 fields display in the slack message.

I confirmed that you have to set the fields in the action when creating the workflow, if you create the workflow and then try to edit the "Advance Option" is no longer available.

See below how my message came thru in Slack with all fields selected in the Advance Options

How do you limit the Slack alert to a specific row (or rows)?

For example, I want to send a Slack alert for one of the tasks on the SmartSheet based on a date field being populated, but I don't want Slack alerts to be sent for every task that has that date field populated.

I found a workaround! The email notification allows {{Column 1}} and it will pull the value for that row for Column 1. Slack integration works the same way. You can customize the message and use the {{Column 1}} method. I am able to push the relevant fields in the Slack notification, but it is not in the format I'd like or that others would expect. Hopefully, the Smartsheet team is working on improving this for a near future release.
