FAQ

Questions about KoBoToolbox + Slack.

Under two minutes. Authorize KoBoToolbox and Slack once each, drop the KoBoToolbox trigger and Slack action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.
Is the KoBoToolbox ↔ Slack integration real-time?

Any of the 1 KoBoToolbox triggers, including "KoBoToolbox Form Submitted". Each fires in real time when the matching event happens in KoBoToolbox.
