Support Automation #3780: Recruitment Matching with Slack + Google Sheets + Budibase

Problem

Agents switch between Slack and Google Sheets to complete recruitment matching, which slows resolution and fragments ticket history.

Connecting the tools keeps customer context in one thread.

Workflow

Slack ticket event → classify/priority rules → update Google Sheets → ping channel in Budibase.

Tools Used

• Slack
• Google Sheets
• Budibase

Setup Steps

1. Create credentials for Slack, Google Sheets, Budibase in your orchestration platform.
2. Define the recruitment matching trigger in Slack.
