How to set it up
Outcome: Whenever data in the selected Slate document’s field(s) is changed, the bound Slack message will be updated to reflect the changes made. This works in reverse as well: if the two-way binding is disabled, the Slack message will be updated based on the Slate Revision. However, data in the Slate document won’t be updated after the Slack message has been edited.
Commonly used conditions for when the Bot acts
- When specific fields in a Slate document are completed or empty
- When a specific Slate Revision is created
- When a recipient with a specific email, name, role or Flow permissions opens a Slate

Install the Slack Two-Way Binding Bot to automate workflows
Configure the two-way data binding Bot to transfer data between a document and Slack
If you don’t want to spend hours or even days manually transferring data between different sources, workflow automation software is just the thing you need. airSlate offers no-code Bots, software robots that will execute any part of the workflow. Say you need to transfer data between a document and your corporate messenger. This is where the Slack Two-Way Binding Bot will be of huge help.
While you’re using Slack for instant messaging with your team, airSlate ensures automatic document flow management. When linked together, they boost productivity. Let’s consider an example of efficient Slack integration. Imagine you sent out medical insurance forms to employees. The majority of them have already been completed, but you are still waiting for a couple of them that are lingering and unfinished. Instead of checking your inbox, it’s more convenient to continue working and get informed in Slack. And when there are some changes, your employees can make them directly in a Slack message and these changes will be automatically reflected in a document.
Such integrations will have the following results:
- Improved productivity
- Time saved for more urgent tasks
- Human interaction saved for decision making
- Cost-saving
- Reduced human errors
This two-way data binding Bot will be particularly efficient internally and can be operational in any department, HR, sales, marketing, communications, accounting, etc. In both cases, it opens up new ways for improved business processes.
