    Private Slack channels are part of what's known as "dark social" channels, which have specific access restrictions. To send messages to a private channel like #marketing-ops, you'll need to: 1. Make sure you have the proper Slack OAuth permissions and admin access for the channel 2. When using the "Send Message to Channel" action: โ€ข Enter the channel name without the # symbol โ€ข Fill in the required fields: โ€ข Slack Channel (required) โ€ข Bot Name (optional) โ€ข Emoji (optional) โ€ข Summary text (optional) โ€ข Form Information (optional)If you still can't access the private channel after following these steps, you may need to verify your Slack workspace permissions with your workspace administrator.
