I have created a slack apex action and sending an message and record to slack channel but it displays next step field close date field which i dont need in slack channel. How do i remove them

[@vikramkasote1491]

Nice Video Sir
Thank you ❤️

I am having the hardest time inviting Multiple users from the collection variable. I assign multiple user IDs correctly, yet it will only invite the first user ID. It sees the others, but only invites the first one when debugging. Do i need to loop through the IDs or something of the sort? Thank you

How is it possible to send button of custom object in Slack? For example, I have this use case: a custom object to send information on slack channel and send a button (es. View Record) which open a screen flow in slack to modify record information.

Thank you for this it is very helpful, Can we post message to a single user as DM not to channel or group ?

I have a question, How I should get the value Slack Workspace.? my dropdown is empty to selected value on field Slack Workspace

[@JordanStreeter]

I have the same problem

[@user-mq8id5ii5s]

Thanks for the video. It is super helpful.
Q: Is it possible to add an emoji or reply in the Slack message, and then auto-update a field in Salesforce?
Use Case: add "Completed" emoji in the Slack message, and then auto-update Task "Completed".

[@ReemHassan-py8ir]

Thank you for this. I found that the best way to send a slack message is using the slack apex action. When selecting the slack core action and sending as salesforce for slack app or service cloud for slack app, it does not return the record id with a preview, simply displays the message resource.

Hi @Reem Hassan, how did you do it? I am facing similar challenges, when my flow is triggered, it only post the record in slack channel, however, I am not getting the option to preview or edit the record.

[@shivaniaras485]

Hello Sir, while creating flow, I am not getting Salesforce for Slack in Slack app in Actions. What can be the reason. I can see my Sandbox connected to Slack.

[@user-cz9qv3bw6i]

How can you @mention the SF record owner in Slack?

[@UmeshKumar-kg4sl]

Im not able to see run flows option in system settings

[@CHANBOTSOR.]

Hello sir, how to salesforce communicate message to slack without using any app?

[@avinashvundemodalu5628]

Does chatGPT can reduce programmers ? Does it effect jobs in future ?

[@sschegondi]

It might be early for me to comment as I'm still trying to understand. From what I tried so far, it increases developer productivity.

[@kennethsmith8282]

I am running into a similar issue. I can only get my user to be invited to the channel and other users aren't being added. Did you figure this out?
