Slack is a channel-based messaging platform. With Slack, people can work together more effectively, connect all their software tools and services, and find the information they need to do their best work — all within a secure, enterprise-grade environment.
Slack is a channel-based messaging platform. With Slack, people can work together more effectively, connect all their software tools and services, and find the information they need to do their best work — all within a secure, enterprise-grade environment. On Nagent, Slack is exposed as a fully-configurable team chat integration that any agent can call — 151 actions, 8 triggers, and OAuth authentication. No code is required to wire Slack into your workflow — connect it once via the External Integrations panel and reuse it across every agent you build.
Agent builders use Slack to automate the kinds of tasks team chat teams previously handled manually. Concrete examples — each one is a single agent step in Nagent — include:
Slack also supports 4 event triggers ("New Channel Created Trigger", "Channel Message Received", "Direct Message Received", and more), which lets your Nagent agents react to Slack activity in real time — for example, kicking off a downstream workflow the moment a relevant event fires.
Every action and trigger is paired with a structured input/output schema (visible in the sections below), so when you wire Slack into Helix — our agentic agent builder — the editor knows exactly what each step expects and produces. Configure once, deploy anywhere across your Nagent agents.
Triggers are the entry points of agents built on Nagent — pick one to fire your agent the moment a Slack event happens. Webhook triggers run instantly; poll triggers check on an interval you configure. Each shows its configuration parameters and the payload your agent receives.

SLACK_FETCH_CONVERSATION_HISTORYFetches a chronological list of messages and events from a specified Slack conversation, accessible by the authenticated user/bot, with options for pagination and time range filtering. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: This action only returns messages from the main channel timeline. Threaded replies are NOT returned by this endpoint. To retrieve threaded replies, use the SLACK_FETCH_MESSAGE_THREAD_FROM_A_CONVERSATION action (conversations.replies API) instead. The oldest/latest timestamp filters work reliably for filtering the main channel timeline, but cannot be used to retrieve individual threaded replies - even if you know the exact reply timestamp, setting oldest=latest to that timestamp will return an empty messages array. To get threaded replies: 1. Use this action to get parent messages (which include thread_ts, reply_count, latest_reply fields) 2. Use SLACK_FETCH_MESSAGE_THREAD_FROM_A_CONVERSATION with the parent's thread_ts to fetch all replies in that thread
Input parameters
Maximum number of messages to request in this single Slack API call (1-1000). Defaults to 100. Slack may return fewer than requested, especially for non-Marketplace apps where Slack can cap each page at 15 messages. This action does not internally paginate; use response_metadata.next_cursor in the cursor parameter of a follow-up call to fetch more messages.
Pagination cursor from `response_metadata.next_cursor` of a previous response. Omit this for the first page; pass the returned cursor in a follow-up call to fetch the next page.
End of the time range of messages to include in results. Accepts a Unix timestamp or a Slack timestamp (e.g., '1234567890.000000'). NOTE: This filter only applies to main channel messages, not threaded replies. Use SLACK_FETCH_MESSAGE_THREAD_FROM_A_CONVERSATION to retrieve replies.
Start of the time range of messages to include in results. Accepts a Unix timestamp or a Slack timestamp (e.g., '1234567890.000000'). NOTE: This filter only applies to main channel messages, not threaded replies. Use SLACK_FETCH_MESSAGE_THREAD_FROM_A_CONVERSATION to retrieve replies.
The ID of the public channel, private channel, direct message, or multi-person direct message to fetch history from.
When true, includes messages at the exact 'oldest' or 'latest' boundary timestamps in results. When false (default), excludes boundary messages. Only applies when 'oldest' or 'latest' is specified.
Return all metadata associated with messages in the conversation history. When true, includes additional metadata fields that may be present on messages.

SLACK_FETCH_ITEM_REACTIONSFetches reactions for a Slack message, file, or file comment. Exactly one identifier path must be provided: `channel`+`timestamp`, `file`, or `file_comment`. Mixing identifiers (e.g., providing both `channel`+`timestamp` and `file`) causes errors. If the response omits the `reactions` field, the item has zero reactions.
Input parameters
File ID. Use instead of channel/timestamp or file comment ID.
If true, returns the complete list of users for each reaction.
Channel ID. Required if `timestamp` is provided and no file or file comment ID is given.
Required if using an org-level token. The team/workspace ID where the item exists. Ignored if using a workspace-level token.
Message timestamp (e.g., '1234567890.123456'). Required if `channel` is provided and no file or file comment ID is given. Thread reply timestamps are tracked separately from the parent message; use the reply's own timestamp to fetch its reactions.
File comment ID. Use instead of channel/timestamp or file ID.

SLACK_FETCH_MESSAGE_THREAD_FROM_A_CONVERSATIONRetrieves replies to a specific parent message in a Slack conversation, using the channel ID and the parent message's timestamp (`ts`). Note: The parent message in the response contains metadata (reply_count, reply_users, latest_reply) that indicates expected thread activity. If the returned messages array contains fewer replies than reply_count indicates, check: (1) has_more=true means pagination is needed, (2) recently posted replies may have timing delays, (3) some replies may be filtered by permissions or deleted. The composio_execution_message field will warn about any detected mismatches.
Input parameters
Timestamp of the parent message in the thread. Must be an existing message. If no replies, only the parent message itself is returned. Must be the exact full timestamp string of the root/parent message — not a reply's ts, a truncated value, a permalink, or an integer; these silently return wrong results.
Maximum number of messages to return. Fewer may be returned even if more are available.
Pagination cursor from `response_metadata.next_cursor` of a previous response to get subsequent pages. If omitted, fetches the first page.
Latest message timestamp in the time range to include results.
Oldest message timestamp in the time range to include results. Must be a UTC-based Slack ts string; incorrect timezone conversion or rounding can produce empty result windows.
ID of the conversation (channel, direct message, etc.) to fetch the thread from. Must be a channel ID, not a channel name. Token must have membership in private channels or DMs, otherwise returns empty results or `not_in_channel`/`channel_not_found`.
Required for org-wide apps: the workspace ID to use for this request. If using a workspace-level token, this parameter is optional and will be ignored.
Whether to include messages with `latest` or `oldest` timestamps in results. Effective only if `latest` or `oldest` is specified.
Return all metadata associated with messages in the thread. When true, includes additional metadata fields that may be present on messages.

SLACK_FETCH_TEAM_INFOFetches comprehensive metadata about the current Slack team, or a specified team if the provided ID is accessible.
Input parameters
The ID of the team to retrieve information for. If omitted, information for the current team (associated with the authentication token) is returned. The token must have permissions to view the specified team, especially for teams accessible via external shared channels.
Query by domain instead of team (only when team is null). This only works for domains in the same enterprise as the querying team token. This also expects the domain to belong to a team and not the enterprise itself.

SLACK_FIND_CHANNELSFind channels in a Slack workspace by any criteria - name, topic, purpose, or description. Returns channel IDs (C*/G* prefixed) required by most Slack tools — always resolve names to IDs here before passing to other tools. NOTE: This action searches channels and conversations visible to the authenticated user. Empty results may indicate: - No channels match the search query in name, topic, or purpose - The target private channel or DM is not accessible to the authenticated user because they are not a member - The connection lacks required read scopes (channels:read, groups:read, im:read, mpim:read). If empty, retry with exact_match=false or exclude_archived=false to avoid false negatives. In large workspaces, paginate using next_cursor to avoid missing matches. Check 'composio_execution_message' and 'total_channels_searched' in the response for details.
Input parameters
Maximum number of channels to return (1 to 999). Defaults to 50. Slack recommends no more than 200 results at a time for optimal performance.
Search query to find channels. Searches across channel name, topic, purpose, and description (case-insensitive partial matching). Leading '#' prefix is automatically stripped.
Comma-separated list of channel types to include: `public_channel`, `private_channel`, `mpim` (multi-person direct message), `im` (direct message). Defaults to public and private channels.
The ID of the workspace to list channels from. Required when using an org-level token to specify which workspace to retrieve channels from. This field is ignored when using a workspace-level token.
When true, only return channels whose name exactly matches the query (case-insensitive). Also matches against previous channel names and the 'general' flag. When false, returns partial matches across name, topic, and purpose. Defaults to false.
Only return channels the user is a member of. Defaults to false.
Exclude archived channels from search results. Defaults to true.

SLACK_FIND_USERSFind users in a Slack workspace by any criteria - email, name, display name, or other text. Includes optimized email lookup for exact email matches. Zero results may reflect email visibility restrictions or workspace policies, not global absence. Repeated calls may trigger HTTP 429; honor the Retry-After header.
Input parameters
Email address to search for. This is a convenience parameter that automatically performs an email-based search. Either email or search_query parameter is required.
Maximum number of users to return (1 to 1000). Slack recommends no more than 200 for optimal performance. Defaults to 50. Large workspaces may require pagination or repeated queries to cover all users.
The ID of the Slack workspace (e.g., 'T123456789'). Required when using an org-level token. For workspace-level tokens, this is optional and will be ignored.
When true, only returns users with exact matches on name, display name, real name, first name, last name, or email fields (case-insensitive). For email queries, uses Slack's dedicated email lookup endpoint. When false, allows partial/substring matching. Defaults to false.
Include bot users in search results. Defaults to false.
Search query to find users. Can be a Slack user ID (e.g., 'U012ABCDEF'), email address, or name. For user IDs (starting with 'U' or 'W'), uses Slack's users.info API directly. For email addresses with exact_match=true, uses Slack's email lookup endpoint. For other queries, searches across name, display name, real name, email, first name, last name, and status text (case-insensitive partial matching). Either search_query (or 'query' as alias), or email parameter is required. Name-based queries can return multiple matches — verify exactly one user ID before passing to downstream tools like SLACK_OPEN_DM or SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE; disambiguate using email or real_name fields.
Include the `locale` field for each user. Defaults to `false`.
Include deleted/deactivated users in search results. Defaults to false.
Include restricted (guest) users in search results. Defaults to true.

SLACK_LIST_ALL_CHANNELSLists conversations available to the user with various filters and search options. Always use resolved `channel_id` (not display names) for downstream operations, as names may be non-unique. The `created` field in results is a Unix epoch timestamp (UTC). Pagination across large workspaces may return HTTP 429 with a `Retry-After` header; honor the delay and resume from the last successful cursor.
Input parameters
Maximum number of channels to return per page (1 to 1000). Fewer channels may be returned than requested. This schema defaults to 1 if omitted.
Comma-separated list of conversation types to include: `public_channel` (regular #channels everyone can join), `private_channel` (invite-only channels), `im` (1-on-1 direct messages), `mpim` (group direct messages with 3+ people). Defaults to `public_channel` if omitted. Private channels, IMs, and MPIMs only appear if the authenticated user/bot is a member and the token has the required scopes; absence from results reflects access limits, not non-existence.
Pagination cursor (from a previous response's `next_cursor`) for the next page of results. Omit for the first page. Loop on `response_metadata.next_cursor` until it is empty to retrieve all channels; stopping early silently omits results.
Encoded team id to list channels in. Required if using an org-level token.
Excludes archived channels if true. The API defaults to false (archived channels are included).

SLACK_LIST_ALL_USERSRetrieves a paginated list of all users with profile details, status, and team memberships in a Slack workspace; data may not be real-time. Filter response fields `is_bot`, `is_app_user`, and `deleted` to build human-only rosters. Profile fields like `email` and `phone` may be absent depending on OAuth scopes and workspace privacy settings. Guest/restricted accounts may be omitted based on scopes—do not treat results as a complete directory. High-frequency calls risk HTTP 429; honor the `Retry-After` header and throttle to ~1–2 requests/second. Use stable user IDs rather than display names for mapping. Prefer SLACK_FIND_USERS for targeted lookups; cache results to avoid full-workspace fetches.
Input parameters
Maximum number of items to return per page; fewer may be returned if the end of the list is reached. Recommended to set a value (e.g., 100) as Slack may error for large workspaces if omitted.
Pagination cursor for fetching subsequent pages. Set to `next_cursor` from a previous response's `response_metadata`. Omit for the first page. Paginate until `next_cursor` is empty—stopping early silently undercounts users. Page size is capped at ~200 users.
The workspace/team ID to list users from. Required when using an org-level token (Enterprise Grid). This field is ignored when using a workspace-level token. Use admin.teams.list to get available team IDs.
Include the `locale` field for each user. Defaults to `false`.

SLACK_LIST_CANVASESDEPRECATED: Use SLACK_LIST_FILES_WITH_FILTERS_IN_SLACK instead (pass types="canvas" for equivalent behavior). Lists Slack Canvases with filtering by channel, user, timestamp, and page-based pagination. Uses Slack's files.list API with types=canvas filter. Only canvases accessible to the authenticated app are returned; missing canvases indicate permissions restrictions, not empty data. Use `paging.pages` in the response to determine total pages; iterate `page` with `count` to retrieve all results. Known limitations: - The 'user' filter may return canvases accessible to the specified user, not just canvases they created. - The 'ts_from' and 'ts_to' timestamp filters may not work reliably for canvas types. Consider client-side filtering on the 'created' field in the response if precise date filtering is required.
Input parameters
Page number for pagination (1-based)
Optional user ID to filter canvases created by a specific user. Note: This filter may return canvases accessible to the user (not just created by them) due to Slack API behavior with canvas types.
Maximum number of canvases to return per page (1-1000)
Filter canvases created before this Unix timestamp (inclusive). Pass as integer epoch seconds. Note: This filter may not work reliably for canvas types in the Slack API.
Optional channel ID (e.g., 'C1234567890') to filter canvases. Must be a channel ID, not name.
Team/Workspace ID for Enterprise Grid organizations (starts with 'T'). Required when using org-level tokens. For single-workspace installations, this parameter is optional and will be ignored.
Filter canvases created after this Unix timestamp (inclusive). Pass as integer epoch seconds. Note: This filter may not work reliably for canvas types in the Slack API.
Display truncated file metadata for older files when workspace has exceeded file limits. When true, shows metadata for files that would normally be hidden due to workspace storage limits.

SLACK_LIST_CONVERSATIONSList conversations (channels/DMs) accessible to a specified user (or the authenticated user if no user ID is provided), respecting shared membership for non-public channels. Returns conversation IDs (C* for channels, G* for group DMs), not display names. Absence of private channels, DMs, or MPIMs from results indicates token scope or membership limits, not that the conversation is nonexistent.
Input parameters
The ID of the user whose conversations will be listed. If not provided, conversations for the authenticated user are returned. Non-public channels are restricted to those where the calling user (authenticating user) shares membership.
The maximum number of items to return per page. Must be an integer, typically between 1 and 1000 (e.g., 100). If omitted, the API's default limit (often 100) applies. Fewer items than the limit may be returned.
Comma-separated list of conversation types to include: `public_channel` (regular #channels everyone can join), `private_channel` (invite-only channels), `im` (1-on-1 direct messages), `mpim` (group direct messages with 3+ people). If omitted, all types are included. If omitted, the API defaults to `public_channel` only — explicitly specify all desired types to include private channels, DMs, or MPIMs. For `im` results, only user IDs are returned; use a user-lookup tool to resolve display names.
Pagination cursor for retrieving the next set of results. Obtain this from the `next_cursor` field in a previous response's `response_metadata`. If omitted, the first page is fetched. Must loop on `next_cursor` until it is empty to avoid silently missing conversations.
The team (workspace) ID to filter conversations by. Required for Enterprise Grid tokens to specify which workspace. Can be obtained from team.info API.
Set to `true` to exclude archived channels from the list. If `false` or omitted, archived channels are typically included (the API's default behavior for omission will apply, usually including them).

Pagination cursor value for fetching specific pages of results. To retrieve the next page, provide the `next_cursor` value obtained from the `response_metadata` of the previous API call. If omitted or empty, the first page of members is fetched. For more details on pagination, refer to Slack API documentation. Loop by passing `next_cursor` into subsequent calls until `next_cursor` is empty to avoid silently truncating large member lists.
ID of the conversation (public channel, private channel, direct message, or multi-person direct message) for which to retrieve the member list. Public channel IDs typically start with 'C', private channels or multi-person direct messages (MPIMs) with 'G', and direct messages (DMs) with 'D'. Channel names are NOT accepted — only IDs. Obtain IDs via SLACK_FIND_CHANNELS or SLACK_LIST_CONVERSATIONS.

SLACK_RTM_STARTStarts a Real Time Messaging API session for Slack. Use when you need to establish an RTM connection with additional options beyond rtm.connect. Note: RTM API is deprecated; consider Socket Mode for new apps.
Input parameters
Exclude latest timestamps for channels, groups, and direct messages. When set to true, automatically sets no_unreads to true as well.
Returns MPIMs (multiparty instant messages / group DMs) in the API response when set to true. If false or omitted, MPIMs may not be included in the channels list.
Skip unread counts for each channel. When set to true, the response will not include unread message counts for channels, which can reduce payload size.
Only deliver presence events when requested by subscription. If true, presence change events will only be delivered for users explicitly subscribed to via the presence_query method.
Return timestamp only for latest message in each channel. When true, only the message timestamp is returned instead of the full message object, reducing payload size.
Set to true to receive locale for users and channels. When enabled, the response will include locale information for users and channels.
Batch presence deliveries via subscription. If true, presence change events will be batched for subscribed users instead of delivered individually.

SLACK_SCHEDULE_MESSAGESchedules a message to a Slack channel, DM, or private group for a future time (`post_at`), requiring `text`, `blocks`, or `attachments` for content; scheduling is limited to 120 days in advance.
Input parameters
This sends raw text only, use markdown_text field for formatting. Primary text of the message; formatting with `mrkdwn` applies. Required if `blocks` and `attachments` are not provided.
Message text treatment: `full` for special formatting, `none` otherwise (default). See Slack's `chat.postMessage` docs for options.
**DEPRECATED**: Use `markdown_text` field instead. JSON array of structured blocks as a URL-encoded string for message layout and design. Required if `text` and `attachments` are not provided.
Channel, private group, or DM channel ID (e.g., C1234567890) or name (e.g., #general) to send the message to. Bot must be a member of the target channel; missing membership returns `not_in_channel` error.
Unix EPOCH timestamp (integer seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) for the future message send time. Must be strictly greater than current time (past values return `time_in_past` error). Always convert local times to UTC epoch seconds before use; Slack evaluates in UTC only.
Team ID for Enterprise Grid workspaces. Required for orgs with multiple workspaces.
Timestamp of the parent message for the scheduled message to be a thread reply. Must be float seconds (e.g., `1234567890.123456`).
Pass true to automatically link channel names (e.g., #general) and usernames (e.g., @user). NOTE: This parameter is deprecated by Slack; the linking behavior is primarily controlled by Slack's default message parsing. For explicit control, use the 'parse' parameter instead (set to 'full' to enable auto-linking).
This is Slack's legacy 'secondary attachments' field for adding rich formatting elements like colored sidebars, structured fields, and author info. Pass as a JSON string array. NOT for file/image uploads. To send files or images, use 'SLACK_UPLOAD_OR_CREATE_A_FILE_IN_SLACK' instead.
Pass false to disable automatic link unfurling. Defaults to true. NOTE: Due to a known Slack API limitation, this parameter may not be respected for scheduled messages (works correctly for chat.postMessage but may be ignored by chat.scheduleMessage).
Pass false to disable automatic media unfurling. Defaults to true. NOTE: Due to a known Slack API limitation, this parameter may not be respected for scheduled messages (works correctly for chat.postMessage but may be ignored by chat.scheduleMessage).
**PREFERRED**: Write your scheduled message in markdown for nicely formatted display. Supports headers (#), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), code (```), links (\[text\](url)), quotes (>), and dividers (---). Your message will be posted with beautiful formatting.
With `thread_ts`, makes reply visible to all in channel, not just thread members. Defaults to `false`.

SLACK_SEARCH_ALLTool to search all messages and files. Use when you need unified content search across channels and files in one call. Results are scoped to content visible to the authenticated token; missing hits in private or restricted channels reflect permission/membership gaps. Response separates messages and files into distinct sections — explicitly read the files section for document results. Results are index-based and may lag several minutes behind real-time; use SLACK_FETCH_CONVERSATION_HISTORY for near-real-time per-channel coverage. Paginated searches exceeding ~1 req/sec may return HTTP 429 too_many_requests; honor the Retry-After header and resume from the last page.
Input parameters
Page number of results to return; default is 1. Iterate until total_count or page_count signals completion.
Sort by `score` (relevance) or `timestamp` (chronological).
Number of results per page; default is 20; max is 100.
Search query supporting Slack search modifiers/booleans. Date modifiers after:, before:, on: are UTC day-based; after: is exclusive, so convert time ranges to explicit UTC dates to avoid boundary gaps — sub-day precision requires client-side filtering by numeric ts. Spaces act as logical AND; omitting in:#channel or date filters makes search workspace-wide and slow. Malformed modifiers (e.g., wrong from: format) silently return zero results.
Encoded team ID to search in; required when using an org-level token.
Sort direction: `asc` or `desc`.
If true, search terms are wrapped with markers for client-side highlighting.

SLACK_SEARCH_MESSAGESWorkspace‑wide Slack message search with date ranges and filters. Use `query` modifiers (e.g., in:#channel, from:@user, before/after:YYYY-MM-DD), sorting (score/timestamp), and pagination.
Input parameters
Page number for manual pagination control. Cannot be used with auto_paginate - choose either automatic collection OR manual page control, not both.
Sort results by `score` (relevance) or `timestamp` (chronological).
Without auto_paginate: Number of messages per page (max 100). With auto_paginate: Total messages desired. Set count=500 to get 500 messages with automatic pagination handling.
Search query supporting various modifiers for precise filtering: **Location Modifiers:** - `in:#channel-name` - Messages in specific channel - `in:@username` - Direct messages with user **User Modifiers:** - `from:@username` - Messages from specific user - `from:botname` - Messages from bot **Content Modifiers:** - `has:link` - Messages with links - `has:file` - Messages with files - `has::star:` - Starred messages - `has::pin:` - Pinned messages **Special Characters:** - `"exact phrase"` - Search exact phrase - `*wildcard` - Wildcard matching - `-exclude` - Exclude words **Combinations:** Mix modifiers with date filters like `"project update" on:2025-09-25 in:#marketing from:@john`
Cursor for cursor-mark pagination. Use `*` for the first call, then use `next_cursor` from the previous response for subsequent calls. This is the modern pagination approach recommended by Slack. Cannot be used with `page` parameter - choose either cursor-based or page-based pagination.
The ID of the workspace to search in. Only relevant when using an org-level token. This field will be ignored if using a workspace-level token.
Sort direction: `asc` (ascending) or `desc` (descending).
Enable highlighting of search terms in results.
When enabled, 'count' becomes the total messages desired instead of per-page limit. System automatically handles pagination to collect the specified total. Cannot be used with 'page' parameter - choose either automatic collection or manual page control. Usage: If you fetched 100 messages but pagination shows 500 total available, set auto_paginate=true and count=500 to get all results at once.

SLACK_SEND_EPHEMERAL_MESSAGESends an ephemeral message visible only to the specified `user` in a channel; other channel members cannot see it. Both the bot and the target user must be members of the specified channel.
Input parameters
The message text to display. Required unless 'blocks' or 'attachments' is provided. When using blocks, this serves as fallback text for notifications. Supports markdown formatting.
User ID of the user to send the ephemeral message to.
Controls text parsing behavior. Use 'full' to enable automatic linking of @mentions, #channels, and URLs. Use 'none' to disable special parsing (URLs will still be clickable). Defaults to 'none'.
A JSON-based array of structured blocks, presented as a URL-encoded string.
Legacy parameter for authenticated user authorship. Defaults to true without chat:write:bot scope, false otherwise. Setting to true requires chat:write:user scope for the authenticated user to author the message.
Channel, private group, or DM channel to send message to. Can be an encoded ID, or a name.
Team ID for Enterprise Grid workspaces. Required when using an org-level token to specify which workspace the message should be sent to.
URL to an image to use as the icon for this message. Must be used in conjunction with as_user set to false, otherwise ignored. See authorship below.
Set your bot's user name. Must be used in conjunction with as_user set to false, otherwise ignored. See authorship below.
Provide another message's ts value to make this message a reply. Avoid using a reply's ts value; use its parent instead.
Emoji to use as the icon for this message. Overrides icon_url. Must be used in conjunction with as_user set to false, otherwise ignored. See authorship below.
Find and link channel names and usernames.
This is Slack's legacy 'secondary attachments' field for adding rich formatting elements like colored sidebars, structured fields, and author info. Pass as a JSON string array. NOT for file/image uploads. To send files or images, use 'SLACK_UPLOAD_OR_CREATE_A_FILE_IN_SLACK' instead.
PREFERRED: Write your ephemeral message in markdown for nicely formatted display. Supports: headers (# ## ###), bold (**text** or __text__), italic (*text* or _text_), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), code blocks (```), links (\[text\](url)), block quotes (>), lists (- item, 1. item), dividers (--- or ***). IMPORTANT: Use \\n for line breaks (e.g., 'Line 1\\nLine 2'), not actual newlines. Incompatible with blocks or text parameters. Maximum 12,000 characters.

SLACK_SEND_ME_MESSAGESends a 'me message' (e.g., '/me is typing') to a Slack channel, where it's displayed as a third-person user action; messages are plain text and the channel must exist and be accessible.
Input parameters
Content of the 'me message', displayed as an action performed by the user (e.g., if text is 'is feeling happy', it appears as '*User is feeling happy*').
Specifies the target channel by its public ID (e.g., 'C1234567890'), private group ID, IM channel ID, or name (e.g., '#general', '@username').

SLACK_SEND_MESSAGEPosts a message to a Slack channel, DM, or private group; requires at least one content field (`markdown_text`, `text`, `blocks`, or `attachments`) — omitting all causes a `no_text` error. Fails with `not_in_channel`, `channel_not_found`, or `channel_is_archived` if the bot lacks access. Body limit ~4000 characters. Rate-limited at ~1 req/sec (HTTP 429, honor `Retry-After`). Not idempotent — duplicate calls post duplicate messages.
Input parameters
DEPRECATED: This sends raw text only, use markdown_text field. Primary textual content. Recommended fallback if using `blocks` or `attachments`. Supports mrkdwn unless `mrkdwn` is `false`.
Message text parsing behavior. Set to 'full' to parse as user-typed (auto-links @mentions, #channels). Omit for default behavior (no special parsing).
DEPRECATED: Use `markdown_text` field instead. Block Kit layout blocks for rich/interactive messages. Accepts either a URL-encoded JSON string or a list of block dictionaries. See Slack API Block Kit docs for structure.
Controls Slack mrkdwn formatting for the top-level `text` field ONLY. Set to `false` to disable formatting (text appears as-is with literal asterisks, underscores, etc.). Default `true` enables mrkdwn formatting (*bold*, _italic_, etc.). NOTE: This parameter has NO effect on `blocks` or `markdown_text` - block content always uses its own formatting rules.
ID or name of the channel, private group, or IM channel to send the message to. Can be specified as either 'channel' or 'channel_id'. Do NOT include the '#' prefix (e.g., use 'general' not '#general') - any leading '#' will be automatically stripped. For DMs, use the channel ID returned by SLACK_OPEN_DM (starts with 'D'); usernames, emails, and user IDs are not valid DM targets.
Timestamp (`ts`) of an existing message to make this a threaded reply. Use `ts` of the parent message, not another reply. Example: '1476746824.000004'.
Automatically hyperlink channel names (e.g., #channel) and usernames (e.g., @user) in message text. Defaults to `false` for bot messages.
This is Slack's legacy 'secondary attachments' field for adding rich formatting elements like colored sidebars, structured fields, and author info to messages. Pass as a JSON string array. NOT for file/image uploads. To send a message with attachments of files or images, use the 'SLACK_UPLOAD_OR_CREATE_A_FILE_IN_SLACK' instead.
Enable unfurling of text-based URLs. Defaults `false` for bots, `true` if `as_user` is `true`.
Enable media previews (images, videos) from URLs. Set to `true` (default) to show media previews, `false` to hide them.
PREFERRED: Write your message in markdown for nicely formatted display. Supports: headers (# ## ###), bold (**text** or __text__), italic (*text* or _text_), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), code blocks (```), links (\[text\](url)), block quotes (>), lists (- item, 1. item), dividers (--- or ***), context blocks (:::context with images), and section buttons (:::section-button). IMPORTANT: Use \\n for line breaks (e.g., 'Line 1\\nLine 2'), not actual newlines. USER MENTIONS: To tag users, use their user ID with <@USER_ID> format (e.g., <@U1234567890>), not username. NOTE: Slack enforces a 50-block limit per message. Very long messages with extensive formatting may exceed this limit. If your message is very long, consider splitting it into multiple shorter messages or using simpler formatting.
If `true` for a threaded reply, also posts to main channel. Defaults to `false`.

New title for the remote file. If omitted, the current title remains unchanged.
Authentication token for authorizing the API request to Slack.
New filetype for the remote file. This typically describes the kind of file, e.g., `pdf`, `gdoc`, `image`, `text`. See Slack API documentation for specific supported `filetype` values. Providing an inaccurate filetype might affect how the file is handled or displayed.
Creator-defined Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) for the remote file. Used to identify the file if `file` ID is not provided. One of `file` or `external_id` is required to specify the file to update.
New publicly accessible URL for the remote file. If provided, this updates the link associated with the file in Slack.

SLACK_UPDATES_A_SLACK_MESSAGEUpdates a Slack message, identified by `channel` ID and `ts` timestamp, by modifying its `text`, `attachments`, or `blocks`; provide at least one content field, noting `attachments`/`blocks` are replaced if included (`\[\]` clears them).
Input parameters
Timestamp of the message to update (string, Unix time with microseconds, e.g., `'1234567890.123456'`).
This sends raw text only, use markdown_text field for formatting. New message text (plain or mrkdwn). Not required if `blocks` or `attachments` are provided. See Slack formatting rules.
Parse mode for `text`: `'full'` (auto-links @mentions and #channels) or `'none'` (literal text). If not provided, uses Slack's default behavior.
**DEPRECATED**: Use `markdown_text` field instead. Block Kit layout blocks for rich/interactive messages. Accepts either a JSON string array or a list of block dictionaries. Replaces existing blocks if field is provided; use `\[\]` to clear. Omit field to leave blocks untouched. Required if `text` and `attachments` are absent. See Slack API for format.
Pass `true` to update the message as the authenticated user; applicable to bot users as well.
The ID of the channel containing the message to be updated.
Array of file IDs to attach to the updated message. Files must already be uploaded to Slack.
JSON object containing `event_type` (string) and `event_payload` (dict) fields for adding custom metadata to the message.
Set to `true` to link channel/user names in `text`. If not provided, Slack's default update behavior may override original message's linking settings.
This is Slack's legacy 'secondary attachments' field for adding rich formatting elements like colored sidebars, structured fields, and author info. Accepts either a JSON string array or a list of attachment dictionaries. Replaces existing attachments if provided; use `\[\]` to clear. NOT for file/image uploads. To send files or images, use 'SLACK_UPLOAD_OR_CREATE_A_FILE_IN_SLACK' instead.
**PREFERRED**: Write your updated message in markdown for nicely formatted display. Supports headers (#), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), code (```), links (\[text\](url)), quotes (>), and dividers (---). Your message will be posted with beautiful formatting.
If `true` and the message is a thread reply, broadcast the updated message to the channel. Defaults to `false`.

SLACK_UPDATE_USER_GROUPUpdates an existing Slack User Group, which must be specified by an existing `usergroup` ID, with new optional details such as its name, description, handle, or default channels.
Input parameters
New name for the User Group. Must be unique among User Groups.
New mention handle. Must be unique among channels, users, and User Groups.
Encoded team (workspace) ID where the User Group exists. Required if using an org-level token. Will be ignored if the API call is sent using a workspace-level token.
Comma-separated encoded channel IDs to set as default channels.
Encoded ID of the existing User Group to update.
New short description for the User Group.
If true, include the number of users in the User Group in the response.
Configure this user group to show as a sidebar section for all group members. Only relevant if group has 1 or more default channels added.
Comma-separated encoded channel IDs for which the User Group can custom add usergroup members to.

SLACK_UPDATE_USER_GROUP_MEMBERSReplaces all members of an existing Slack User Group with a new list of valid user IDs.
Input parameters
Comma-separated string of encoded user IDs for the new, complete member list, replacing all existing members. User IDs typically start with 'U' or 'W'.
Encoded team ID where the User Group exists. Required when using an org-level token (Enterprise Grid). Ignored for workspace-level tokens.
The encoded ID of the User Group whose members are to be updated. This ID typically starts with 'S'.
If true, the response `usergroup` object includes `user_count` and potentially `channel_count` fields, reflecting counts after the update.

SLACK_UPLOAD_OR_CREATE_A_FILE_IN_SLACKUpload files, images, screenshots, documents, or any media to Slack channels or threads. Supports all file types including images (PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF), documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT), code files, and more. Can share files publicly in channels or as thread replies with optional comments. Large files may fail with `upload_too_large`; use SLACK_ADD_A_REMOTE_FILE_FROM_A_SERVICE for large uploads. If the API returns `ok=false` with `method_deprecated`, fall back to SLACK_ADD_A_REMOTE_FILE_FROM_A_SERVICE or SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE with a URL.
Input parameters
File to upload. At least one of 'content' or 'file' must be provided (but not both). FileUploadable object where 'name' is the filename to use in Slack. The file must exist in accessible storage; expired or invalid s3keys will result in a storage error.
Title of the file, displayed in Slack.
Authentication token; requires 'files:write' scope.
Text content of the file; use for text-based files. At least one of 'content' or 'file' must be provided (but not both).
Channel ID where the file will be shared; if omitted, file is private to the uploader. Use channel ID (e.g., C1234567890) not channel name. Note: Due to API changes, only the first channel ID is used if multiple are provided. App must be a member of the target channel or the upload fails with `not_in_channel` or `channel_not_found`.
Filename to be displayed in Slack. Required when using 'content' parameter.
Deprecated: File type detection is now automatic. This parameter is preserved for backward compatibility but no longer affects file uploads.
Timestamp of a parent message to upload this file as a reply; use the original message's 'ts' value (e.g., '1234567890.123456').
Optional message to introduce the file in specified 'channels'.

No publicly available marketplace agent is found using this tool yet. There are 56 agents privately built on Nagent that already use Slack.
Build on Nagent
Connect Slack to any Nagent agent in minutes — no API key management, no boilerplate. Just configure and deploy.
The five questions agent builders ask before adopting a new integration.
Open the External Integrations panel inside Nagent (app.nagent.ai/externalIntegration), find Slack, and click "Connect Now." You'll authenticate with OAuth — Nagent handles credential storage and refresh automatically. Once connected, Slack is available to any agent in your workspace.
No. Nagent provides no-code integration for every tool. Once Slack is connected, you configure its 151 actions and 8 triggers directly in the agent builder UI — no API calls, no boilerplate, no schema management.
Helix — Nagent's agentic agent builder — lets you drop Slack steps into any workflow visually. Pick an action (e.g., one of those listed above), fill in the inputs (Helix knows the required vs. optional schema for each parameter), and connect it to upstream/downstream steps. Triggers run as the entry point of an agent, so when a Slack event fires, the agent kicks off automatically.
Every Slack action and trigger ships with a fully-typed schema — input parameters with name, type, required flag, and description, plus the output payload shape. The schemas are documented in the sections above. Helix uses these schemas to validate your configuration at build time and to type-check the data flowing between steps.
Yes. While Slack ships with 151 pre-built team chat actions, you can layer custom logic around them inside Helix — pre/post-processing steps, conditional branches, retries, or stitching Slack together with other connected tools.
