On-demand meeting-cost lookup via Slack command
Lets anyone type a Slack slash command with a meeting name to instantly pull that meeting's cost details from the Coda table and reply in-channel with attendee-hours.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerSlack slash command with meeting nameSlack
- ActionSearch Coda cost table for matching meetingCoda
- LogicBranch on match found vs not found
- LogicFormat cost breakdown or suggest closest titles
- OutputReply in the originating Slack channelSlack
What it does
This workflow makes meeting-cost data self-serve. Instead of opening Coda, a teammate runs a Slack slash command naming a meeting, and the flow returns that meeting's cost breakdown directly in Slack within seconds.
When to use it
Use it to make cost data frictionless in the moment someone questions whether a meeting is worth it. It works best alongside a Coda table that is already populated by one of the cost-audit workflows.
How it works
- 1A Slack slash command trigger fires with the meeting name as its argument.
- 2The flow searches the Coda meeting-cost table for a matching meeting title.
- 3A branch handles the no-match case versus a found row.
- 4For a match, it formats attendee-hours, cost per occurrence, cadence, and annualized total into a readable Slack message.
- 5For no match, it replies with a not-found note and lists the closest title matches as suggestions.
- 6It posts the reply back to the originating Slack channel so the whole thread sees the numbers.
