Flow - Form response notification to Slack private channel

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by karkumar

Hi Team,

I'm building a flow and trying to post a message to private slack channel. Last step is failing with this error: 'channel-not-found'
1. When a new response is submitted
2. Get response and send a notification to slack channel (eg: test)

Can't we send it to private channel or individual user ? Am I missing something?
Can we use channel ID instead of channel name? If yes, please let me know the format to be used?

Errors:
{"ok":false,"error":"channel_not_found","warning":"missing_charset","response_metadata":{"warnings":["missing_charset"]}}

Thank you!
KK

Hi @karkumar

You could try @username for sending to individual user.

Please see this post

@abm Thank you! that helps. Do you know if it can be sent only to one username at a time? I tried sending to two users (eg: @xxxxxx, @yyyyy) but no luck.
Is there a way to send it to private slack channel?

Hi @karkumar

Believe the connection you using from the PowerAutomate for the slack connector has got access to that private channel? See this post

i had this issue before and i tried just putting the channel name as a custom value and it worked fine. No # no @. my problem now is that slack doesnt recognize the formula added to the message. it would send the raw formula instead. How would I work around it?

Example of Slack message received:
Structure ID: @{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r458ed93a54f743af88aa2919d8df3c51']}
Team Number: @{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r96ac307408244fbba2be7fce715047d6']}
Flight Date: @{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/rf6e0ea1e20ef4625b890022ba5146549']}

the values after @ are supposed to be response details from the submitted form.

(just-me is a private channel I made for testing. it worked fine just by typing the name)
