Why not just use Slack's built-in options? Even where Tally offers some form of Slack integration, it's often tied to one account, limited in which events it covers, or more than you need. ZestyGlue is a dedicated, always-on feed of exactly the events you choose, for $9/month instead of a full automation-platform subscription.
What it looks like
ZestyGlue
Tally — New Submission
A real Tally event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Slack.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Tally → Slack connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Tally at it. In your form, go to Integrations → Webhooks, and paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL.
- (Optional) copy the signing secret. Tally can show a signing secret for extra verification — paste it into ZestyGlue if you'd like, though it isn't required to get started.
- Point Slack at ZestyGlue. Create a Slack app (or reuse one) → Incoming Webhooks → Add New Webhook to Workspace, pick the channel, and copy the URL into ZestyGlue.
Tip: Tally includes every visible form field in its webhook payload — ZestyGlue shows up to six of them in the notification, so short forms show their full content directly without anyone opening a spreadsheet.

Questions
Is my Tally Signing Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
What happens with file upload fields?
Tally includes a link to the uploaded file in its payload; ZestyGlue shows it as a line of text like any other field value.
Does this work with multi-page Tally forms?
Yes — Tally sends one webhook per completed submission regardless of how many pages the form has.
Does this need Slack admin approval?
No app installation is required on Slack's side — an Incoming Webhook is just a URL generated once. No OAuth review, no admin approval flow.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Tally's side — Tally never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
