New Message in Private Channel
Trigger a Flow whenever a new message is added to a private 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 | List of private channels you can monitor; a maximum of 12,000 channels of which you're a member will be displayed. | Dropdown | TRUE |
Channel ID | Slack private 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 private channel ID manually, you must select Enter Channel ID
first from the Channel drop-down. Only IDs for private channels are allowed.
If you enter an ID for a public channel in the Channel ID field, you will receive a Slack connection error. Make sure to check the channel ID.
In order to access a message link successfully, you must upgrade the New Message in Private Channel Event card to the latest version and restablish a Slack connection.
