Sending Messages to Private Slack Channels via OAuth
Can you send slack messages to private slack channels, assuming you are connected via oauth?
Yes, you can send Slack messages to private channels if you're connected via OAuth. Our Slack integration allows you to send messages to Slack channels directly from Clay using the "Send Message to Channel" action. To use this feature, you'll need to specify the Slack channel name where you want to post the message. Just make sure you have the necessary permissions for the private channel you're trying to message.
I have the necessary permissions, but the channel name doesnt appear when I search for it?
When sending messages to Slack channels, you need to enter the channel name without the "#" symbol. For example, use "fun-and-random" instead of "#fun-and-random". If you're still unable to find the private channel, double-check that you've entered the exact channel name correctly. Keep in mind that channel names are case-sensitive. If the issue persists, it might be related to your Slack permissions or the integration setup. In that case, you may need to request human assistance to troubleshoot further.
