What to do if your action is not listed here?

If this component doesn't have the action you need, you can use Custom Action to create your own. Custom Actions empower you to define HTTP requests tailored to your specific requirements, allowing for greater flexibility in integrating with external services or APIs.

To create a Custom Action, simply specify the desired HTTP method, path, and any necessary parameters. This way, you can extend the functionality of your component beyond the predefined actions, ensuring that you can meet all your integration needs effectively.

Additional Instructions

How to find the Channel ID

Open Slack and then channel (or person you want to send direct message to) you want fo find ID of. When you click on channel name you will see Channel details, and in About tab the lowest written value is the Channel ID.

How to find the Timestamp

There is no other way to find the timestamp of a message than to use Slack API. So the best way to find timestamp is to use output of one of Bytechef's Slack actions. In the output of the Slack actions you will find ts property, that is timestamp that you need.
