“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
While direct linking to filtered Google Sheets rows from Slack messages isn’t fully supported, there are effective workarounds that provide quick access to specific survey responses without manual searching.
Here’s how to include enough context in automated messages that eliminates the need to return to the original spreadsheet for most follow-up actions.
Maximize context in Slack notifications using Coefficient
Coefficient excels at creating comprehensive Slack notifications that include all relevant survey details directly in messages. While dynamic filtered row links aren’t available, the extensive data inclusion often eliminates the need to return to Google Sheets.
How to make it work
Step 1. Include comprehensive respondent data using variables support.
Configure variables to extract names, emails, response details, ratings, and timestamps. Create messages like: “John Smith (john@company.com) – Product: Mobile App – Rating: 2/5 – Issue: Login problems – Priority: High – Row 47 in ‘Product Feedback’ tab”
Step 2. Reference sheet locations for manual navigation when needed.
Include sheet tab names and row numbers in automated messages. This provides direct navigation instructions: “See Row 47 in ‘Product Feedback’ tab” for cases where team members need to access the original data.
Step 3. Create summary views using Coefficient’s data import capabilities.
Build filtered summary sheets for different response types that team members can bookmark. Route urgent responses to dedicated summary tabs that are easier to navigate than full response sheets.
Step 4. Use formatting features to eliminate spreadsheet returns.
Include all actionable information directly in Slack messages. Format contact details, priority indicators, and response summaries so team members can take action without returning to Google Sheets for most follow-up tasks.
Make Slack notifications self-sufficient
Comprehensive data inclusion in automated messages reduces the need for spreadsheet navigation while providing clear references when deeper investigation is required. Enhance your survey notification workflow with rich context and clear navigation aids.
