The Slack Files Upload Action Component allows you to post messages and files to a Slack channel specified in the component’s properties using the Slack API. It is useful for debugging actions and notifying people. It can also be used to send messages to #channels and @people.
Please Note: Slack has updated its API. Depending on your Slack account’s setup and whether it has access to Sack’s legacy infrastructure, you may refer to the new way.
Please create a new app from the Slack API site and add chat:write:bot and files:write:bot to the Scopes located at OAuth & Permissions in the Features menu.
Once added, the Install App to Workspace button will become clickable at OAuth Tokens & Redirect URLs, allowing you to install the app (grant permissions).
Once granted, the OAuth Access Token token will become available for use.
Specify this token in the Token property of the component.
