New Message in Channel
Trigger a Flow when a new message is added to a Slack channel.

If you pair this Event card with a Send Message to Channel Action card, you may create a loop. When a channel is notified that a new message is posted, the Flow will respond to its own messages.
Options
Field | Definition | Type | Required |

Channel ID | Slack channel's ID; field is not used if a channel is selected from the Channel drop-down. | String | FALSE |

Note
If you want to enter a channel ID manually, you must select Enter Channel ID
first from the Channel drop-down. Only IDs for public channels are allowed.
If you enter an ID for a private channel in the Channel ID field, you will receive a Slack connection error. Make sure to check the channel ID.
