Send Direct Message
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): True, if Slack should scan links found in messages and create attachments based on the link's contents; false, otherwise.
-
Field Type(drop-down): Choose which input field is used to identify the user; either User ID or Username.
Input
Input fields are dependent on the field type selection.
-
Username: The Slack username of the person to send the message to (without the @ symbol).
-
User ID: The unique ID of the Slack user.
-
Message: The message text (may include emojis:, #channels, @users, and /commands).
Output
- Timestamp: The timestamp when the message was sent.
