Integrating Zoho Flow with Arattai

Automate Channel Messages in Arattai  
​

What is Zoho Flow 

Zoho Flow is a no-code workflow automation tool. It lets you connect different apps, define when something should happen (trigger), and what should happen (action). You don’t need to code, you build flows visually.
It’s ideal for automating repetitive tasks and keeping your tools in sync. (Zoho Flow)
 

Why connect Arattai to Zoho Flow  

By connecting Arattai to Zoho Flow, you can automate posting messages into Arattai channels whenever external events occur. Instead of copy-pasting or manually notifying teams, the system does it for you.
Note: At present, Arattai’s connection to Flow only supports posting messages into channels. Direct messages, message edits, deletions, or Arattai-initiated triggers are not available yet.
You might want this integration for:
  • A media group that auto-publishes new articles, news, or weather updates into a channel
  • A business that notifies sales or support teams of new leads, tickets, or form submissions
  • Communities sending announcements, alerts, or automated reminders

  3. If you haven’t connected Arattai before, Flow will prompt you to Authorize / Connect your Arattai account. You’ll need to provide credentials as required.
  4. Once connected, configure:
    • Channel: choose which channel in Arattai.
    • Message Content: write your message template. Use data from the trigger (title, link, values) by mapping those fields.
  1. Click Test Action - Flow will send a sample message to the chosen channel to verify connectivity.
Step 4: Test and debug  
Testing and debugging your flow ensures that it is error-free. This is an optional step to check if the flow is working correctly.
