You can also use the GetChannelList action in a similar manner.

Sending a message

A very simple example to send a message to a specific user of Slack. Add a Text input control to your form to accept the message to send and a dropdown control to list out the Slack users. Also, add an Action button that would trigger the action to send the message. So now you need to use the Connector action from the Action flow.

1. Select the button and configure its action flow on on_click trigger.
2. From the Server Side actions select the Slack Connector and click Continue.
   • From the list of actions select SendMessage Action.
   • Select the Account to authenticate Slack.

You need to configure the Connector fields. so, select the user from the list or you can also accept it from the form as input control. In this example, we will make use of the same action GetUserList to fetch the data for the dropdown. Here the dropdown will have to be two columns so that the Id is visible. We will fetch the id and the name as you need the ID as input for the SendMessage action.

Provide information to connector via keywords.

Click the Action button to Send Message and the selected user would receive the message on Slack.
