Post messages to Slack channels

Overview

The Slack step sends a message to a connected Slack channel. You provide the message content, and the step outputs a direct link to the posted message. Requires a connected Slack integration with a selected channel.

When to Use

  • Send workflow completion notifications to a Slack channel
  • Post AI-generated summaries or alerts to team channels
  • Notify a channel when new data is processed or reports are ready
  • Build automated status update pipelines that report to Slack

How It Works

The step reads an input (message) field from its input record and posts it to the configured Slack channel. The channel is specified via channelId in the slackConfig. Outputs {message_url, success, error} with a link to the posted message.
