Why use this template
Stop opening Slack just to check whether there's anything new in Slack. This counts new messages on a Stream Deck key as they arrive, updating on its own. A glance tells you whether it's worth the interruption.
Questions, answered
- No. "Slack Message Counter" runs on Conductor Deck's visual canvas. Import it, then fill in each step's fields (a channel, a scene name, a message) right in the builder. No scripts to write.
- No. Once you import it and connect your accounts, the Slack New Message event triggers it automatically. Nothing to press, no manual action from you.
- Importing it is free on any plan. The Pipedream integrations it uses are Pro features, so you need a Pro or Max plan to run it.
- A Conductor Deck account, a Stream Deck (or the in-app virtual deck), and the connected Conductor Deck plugin listed below. You connect Slack inside the builder when you import, with no separate install. Install and link the Conductor Deck plugin before importing, then keep Stream Deck Desktop and the plugin online when this workflow runs. Confirm each local action before import. Before the first run, confirm this Stream Deck setup: Live Tile action assigned to a Stream Deck key and configured for this workflow.
- Absolutely. The template is a starting point. Add, remove, reorder, or reconfigure any step on the canvas after importing.
