Slack Step

Send a message to a Slack channel as part of your workflow. Use this step to notify internal teams about workflow events in real time.

The Slack step sends a text message to a Slack channel using a named connection. Use it to alert your team when a workflow session starts, completes, or reaches a key milestone—so the right people are notified without any manual follow-up.
