    This walkthrough will go over sending a Slack message everytime you get a campaign reply on a workspace.

    Although this workspace is specific to campaign replies, it can be easily altered for different events such as when an untracked reply is received, when a sender email disconnects etc. by listening to different [webhook events](/webhooks/when-are-webhooks-triggered).
