Respond to Command - Real Time
Send an immediate response after you've entered a Slash Command in a Slack channel. This action should be paired with a Slash Command event card.
In order to avoid a timeout error, a Respond to Command - Real Time action card must be used within three seconds of the start of your flow.
If you want to respond to a Slash Command immediately:
-
Place this card at the beginning of your flow.
-
The card must run within three seconds of the start of your flow.
-
Don't place multiple Respond to Command - Real Time action cards in a flow; only the first card in a flow will run.
If you want a delay to the response to the Slash Command of more than three seconds after the start of your flow:
-
You must still use a Respond to Command - Real Time action at the beginning of your flow to avoid a timeout error.
-
Add a Respond to Command - Delayed action card later in the flow; see Respond to Command - Delayed.
