Invite User to Channel

Invite a user to a Slack channel.

Note:

If your workspace has a large number of channels, this card may exceed the 60 second time limit while trying to populate the Channel dropdown list. This timeout can also occur when testing a card.

Channel	List of available channels. Note: This field shows a maximum of 200 public channels and 200 private channels.

The dropdown displays only unarchived channels where the user who created the Slack connection is a member. To specify an unlisted public or private channel, select the `Enter Channel ID` option and enter the Channel ID. If a failure occurs and no channels are listed in the dropdown, then only the `Enter Channel ID` option appears.	Dropdown	TRUE
