Trigger Zapier Actions from Slack Using MCP — No Code, Just Natural Language

How to connect Zapier to your Runbear assistant and automate thousands of workflows from Slack

Imagine sending an email, creating a task, or updating a spreadsheet — all without leaving Slack. With Runbear’s integration of Zapier via MCP (Model Context Protocol), your AI assistant can trigger thousands of automations in seconds.

Zapier connects to over 5,000 apps. Using MCP, Runbear gives your Slack-based assistant direct access to these tools. It’s practical, no-code automation that works where your team already lives: in Slack.

Connect Zapier to Your Assistant in 4 Simple Steps

  1. Get Your Zapier MCP Endpoint
    Go to the Zapier MCP Settings page and copy your unique MCP server URL.
  2. Paste It into Runbear
    In your Boosty Assistant's settings, scroll to the Custom Server section and paste the endpoint. Your assistant is now connected to Zapier.

  3. Set Up Zapier Actions
    Back on Zapier, click Edit MCP Actions to create your automations. Example: A "Send Email" action using Gmail.
  4. Use Natural Language in Slack
    Ask your assistant in plain English:
    "Hey, summarize this Slack thread and send it to summer@runbear.io"
    Your assistant will trigger the correct Zapier action — no special syntax or setup needed.

🧠 What Can You Automate?

If Zapier can do it, your assistant can trigger it:

  • "Create a new task in ClickUp for this"
  • "Add this row to Google Sheets"
  • "Notify the #marketing channel when a new form is submitted"
  • "Post a summary of this document to the #team-updates channel"

The possibilities are endless.

Practical Automation. Real Results.

This isn’t a flashy demo. It’s a real integration that makes everyday work smoother. Set it up once, then let your AI assistant handle the rest — all from your team’s Slack workspace.
