Hi, I’m trying to use Slack as front-end to my personal AI assistant. I managed to get a message, process it by backend, and now I’m struggling with posting the message back to Slack app (note that it’s not a channel but custom app). Currently, I’m doing this using the Create a Message module by posting the message as Direct message and providing the Channel ID (Slack) as User (make). ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/9/f/9fc206388f9ccd4fabf65c42ff54aa6d309b7331.jpeg) This partially works, however messages are getting looped. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/d/0/d0eed8607f77477d317cde5d773769cfc40ae723.png) Things I’ve tried: - providing the Slack app Member ID as User name ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/5/9/5981b062fd61290cd3a98dd5470279803c05bce1.png). Is there a way to Create a Message to Slack but as an app (bot) instead of user so that it does not get looped? Bartek ---
