Classic Integrations Activities
Last updated Nov 8, 2024
Send Message
UiPath.Slack.Activities.Messages.SendMessage
The Send Message activity uses the Slack chat.postMessage API (among others) to send a message (Text) to a specific channel or direct/group message (Conversation).
A Conversation can be one of the following:
- A channel
- A direct message to an individual
- A group direct message to multiple individuals
After sending the reply, the activity returns its properties in
Message object (Message) that you can use as input property variables in subsequent activities (e.g. Get Replies, Message.Text in , etc.).
The following steps are an example how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.
- Complete the Setup steps.
- Add the Slack Scope activity to your project.
- Add the Send Message activity inside the Slack Scope activity.
- Enter values for the Input properties.
- Create and enter a
Messagevariable for your Output property. - Run the activity.
- Conversation Type - The type of conversation you want to get messages from. There are three available options: Channel, Direct Message, Group Message.
- Channel Name - The name of the channel to get messages from.
StringorStringvariable - Channel ID - The ID of the channel to get messages from.
StringorStringvariable. - Text - The body of text that you want to send in your message. Enter a

StringorStringvariable. Either the File or Text property is required. You can enter values in both properties. - Message - Your sent message returned as a

StringorStringvariable. - Conversation Name - The name of the Group Direct Message you want to get messages from. This field supports only
