Trigger: Message Posted in a Team Space

The Message Posted in a Team Space trigger fires a workflow every time someone sends a message inside a Space (internal channel) in the Team module.

When to use it

Use it to react to internal communication without depending on someone reading the chat: create a board task when an issue is reported, alert a manager when a certain keyword shows up, or track activity metrics for a Space.

Configuration

In the Trigger node pick "Message Posted in a Team Space" and configure:

• Space: limit to one Space (empty = any).
• Contains text: only fires if the message includes this word or phrase (empty = any message).

Available variables

• $trigger.space_id / $trigger.space_name
• $trigger.message_id
• $trigger.author_id
• $trigger.text
• $trigger.type (text / poll / …)

Example

Workflow "Report incidents": Trigger = Message Posted in a Team Space, filters Space = "Operations" and Contains text = "incident". Action: create an item on the "Incidents" board titled {{$trigger.text}} and notify the "On-call" Space.

Tips

• The text filter is not case-sensitive and doesn't support regex — pick a simple, representative keyword.
• If you only need to react to direct mentions, use the "You Were Mentioned in Team" trigger instead.

Troubleshooting

If the workflow fires on messages you didn't expect, check that the filter keyword isn't a substring of common words (e.g. a very short word can match many unrelated messages).
