**Would you like to notify translators when there is a new comment regarding their language in Localazy? You can do it with the Zapier integration in a few steps! Learn more in this article.**

Setting up a simple Slack notification when a new comment is added is possible by using [this Zap template](https://zapier.com/apps/localazy/integrations/slack/1068108/send-channel-messages-in-slack-for-new-comments-added-in-localazy). But when you don't want to bother, e.g., German translators with Polish-related comments and vice-versa, some additional steps are needed. So I'm going to tell you how to do it using the Zapier integration by Localazy and the [Paths by Zapier](https://zapier.com/apps/paths/integrations).

**Before you start, we recommend reading the previous article to learn how the integration with Zapier works:**

## 1️⃣ Add the Trigger and Conditional Paths

Thanks to Paths, you can create conditions in your Zap workflows.

Search for the *Localazy* App and connect your [Localazy account](https://localazy.com/register) to select a project where you want to monitor the new comments. Set up the [*Localazy comment added*](https://localazy.com/docs/zapier/triggers#comment-added) Trigger. Then, search for and add the *Paths by Zapier* Action.

We'll create two conditional paths - one for German translators and the other one for Polish.

Set up your *DE* path so it will continue only if the *Comment locale* field exactly matches *de*.

Do a similar thing with the *Send notification to PL translators* path.

You can always find a locale code in the project languages overview table next to its name in Localazy.

## 2️⃣ Setup Slack Action

If you don't already have the channels in Slack created, create two channels - one for each group of translators and invite them into the respective channels. Then set up the *Send Channel Message in Slack* Action.

Assuming that the members of the *#zapier\_testing\_de\_translators* channel are only German translators, when adding a comment in Localazy, you achieve exactly what we want - as shown in the animation below.

You could also set your action so that it sends a DM to each of the translators instead of sending it to the channels. And that's it! Now your translators will get notified instantly as new comments are added.
