How to send a Discord or Slack message when your PC finishes a task

With KeyRoutines Pro, use App quit for the app doing the job (or Folder changed for its output folder), then Send webhook to Discord or Slack. The webhook address's secret part is kept in KeyRoutines' secrets vault, not in the routine.

KeyRoutines Pro is a one-time $29.99 upgrade for up to 2 PCs.

Steps

1. 1

   Make a webhook

   Create an incoming webhook in your Discord channel or Slack workspace and copy its address.

2. 2

   Store the secret

   In Send webhook, write {key} where the secret part of the address goes and pick the secret under Key.

3. 3

   Watch the job

   Add App quit for the app, such as your renderer, or Folder changed on the export folder.

4. 4

   Send the message

   Add Send webhook with the service set to Discord or Slack and a message like "Render finished".

Tips

• Send webhook warns you if the address isn't on the service's own site, so a typo doesn't send your message elsewhere.
