Hi guys, I’m trying to use Slack to instant trigger when a new message is dropped into a private channel, but it isn’t having it - here’s what I’m doing, would appreciate any help - Thanks: https://www.loom.com/share/1c0fc148451b4e92ad1f8f8768d69fc0?sid=533a8b07-ac24-4c33-89e1-ff4b7be75e6e
From what I see on Slack’s api documentation, you need to have OAuth permission scope setup to use Event API. Verify if you have that set up.
Also just curious to know why you don’t want to use ‘Watch Private Channel Messages’ trigger.
Thanks Praneeth, I took a look into this and the trigger isn’t working properly - a few people are having the same issues. I found this tutorial easy to follow and it worked: Slack "New Event" setup. How to check new messages in private channel? - #7 by Benjamin_from_Make
Also the Watch module I find using lot of automation each month when I’m using a lot already.
