Send File to Channel

Send a file to a Slack channel. You must be a member of the channel.

Options

Field	Definition	Type	Required
Channel	List of available channels. This field shows a maximum of 200 public channels and 200 private channels. Even if the number of public or private channels is fewer than 200, API limitations may prevent some channels from appearing in the Channel dropdown list. 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
