How to Connect RapidoForm with Slack for Instant Notifications?

Aisha PatelSeptember 9, 2025536 views

Hi everyone! I'm currently using RapidoForm for collecting feedback and registrations for our events, and I'm really interested in integrating it with Slack. My goal is to receive instant notifications in a specific Slack channel whenever someone submits a form. I’ve already set up my forms with various question types, but I'm a bit stuck on how to leverage the Zapier integration to achieve this.

Has anyone successfully set this up? If so, could you please share your step-by-step process or any tips? Also, are there any limitations I should be aware of when using this integration? I appreciate your help!
