2. Mapping Source Columns to Destination Fields

While creating a Sync on valmi.io, you can select a source table and choose the previously created Slack connection as the destination. Select one of the channels as the destination object. We have chosen the #_newly_signedup_users channel for this example. The next screen lets the user map the source columns onto the fields of the Slack object. The picture below shows that we have selected append destination sync mode. employee_id has been selected as the Primary Key for the Warehouse source. The source fields name have been mapped to the destination fields my_name. We have also added the templated message.

In the next screen, you can choose a schedule for the sync and finally create the sync.
