All 26 actions with their inputs

Set it up

About two minutes, once per project or once for the whole workspace.

1. Open Integrations in the builder

   Backend panel, Integrations tab, then Slack. To connect it for every project, use Workspace settings, Integrations.

2. Sign in to Slack

   You sign in to Slack and approve access. Appbricx keeps the tokens, encrypted, and refreshes them.

   • chat:write
   • channels:read
   • channels:manage
   • users:read
   • reactions:write

   This uses an OAuth app: the platform's, or your own from the admin panel, and you can bring your own credentials.

3. Call an action

   From a workflow, by integration id and action name. The call answers with success, output and, when it fails, the reason.

   // .workflow.js (native ctx)
   export async function run(ctx) {
     const res = await ctx.integrations.invoke("slack", "send_channel_message", {
       "channel": "<channel>",
       "sendAsBot": true
     });
     if (!res.success) throw new Error(res.error);
     ctx.log.info("Slack answered", { output: res.output });
   }
