Trigger a Flow whenever a new message is added to a private Slack Channel.

Note: Pairing this event with a Send Message to Channel action may create a loop. Notifying the channel when a new message is added will cause the flow to respond to its own messages.

Unless otherwise indicated, field types are text.

Options

  • Your Channels (drop-down): list of private channels you can monitor

Output

  • Message
    • Text: text of the message
    • Timestamp: timestamp when the message was added
  • Author
    • Full Name: user’s full name
    • Username: user’s Slack username (without @ symbol)
    • User ID: user’s unique Slack ID
