Slack

Slack is a new way to communicate with your team. It’s faster, better organized, and more secure than email.

Use the Slack action node to be notified of an execution or to create a channel or users based a specific action carried out within the flow. For example, get notified into specific Slack channels if a payment is unsuccessful or disputed. Meanwhile, the triggers can be used to initiate an automation flow from a Slack activity where it will trigger downstream activity.

Triggers allow an action from within Slack to begin an automation:

• Saved Message: This will trigger when you save a message.
• Created New Channel: This will trigger when a new #channel has been created.
• Uploaded New File: This will trigger when a new file is uploaded to your workspace.
• User Joined: This will trigger when a new user first joins your organisation.

Actions executed during an automation will perform a specific task within your Slack workspace:

• Send Private Channel Message: This action will post a message from the automation to a private channel of your choosing.
• Send Chanel Message: This action will post a message in a specific open channel of your choosing.
• Invite User: This action will invite an existing user to a channel. (Note: You must be a member of this channel in order to invite a new user to it.)
• Create Channel: This action will create a new channel within your Slack workspace.
• Send Direct Message: This action will send a direct message to any user or yourself via the Slackbot feature.
