Send a direct message to a Slack user on your team. To send a Slack notification rather than a direct message, use Send Slackbot Message.
Unless otherwise indicated, field types are text.
Options
- Unfurl URLs? (true/false): indicate whether Slack should scan links found in messages and create attachments based on the link’s contents
- Field Type (drop-down): indicate which input field is used to identify the user (User ID or Username)
Input
Input fields are dependent on the field type selection.
- Username: Slack username of the person to send the message to (without the @ symbol)
- User ID: unique ID of the Slack user
- Message: message text (may include emojis:, #channels, @users, and /commands)
Output
- Timestamp: timestamp when message was sent
