Goal: Connect ReTool via Slack integration (as a resource) and automatically post notifications to a private channel using a resource query workflow block.
-
Steps: Tried to set up Slack resource, configured resource query block with slack resource to run /chat.postmessage, workflow block cannot find the private channel I added ReTool to. Looked at slack permissions scopes docs, double checked resource oauth scopes in resource config.
-
Details: Cloud hosted. According to slack docs, it should only need channels:read and groups:read to find the private channel.

Screenshots:
No matter what I do I can't seem to get the "Channel" dropdown to list the private channel I'm looking for.

Hi @KevinChu, thank you for flagging this. I was able to reproduce the issue on my end. It is currently possible to use the Slack integration to send a message to a private channel from an App, but not from a Workflow (I tried using the channel ID). I created an internal report for this. We'll update you here when it's fixed. 
Hi @Paulo - this has stopped working again. I can post to a channel if its public but not using the same id when it's private
Hi @mogsgra, thanks for surfacing this. It seems to work with an existing private channel, but there’s an issue when trying with a newly created private channel or a public channel that’s been made private. I created a new report for this regression and will update you here when it's fixed
Hi Paulo, I ran into this as well, is there an estimate on when this regression will be fixed

There is not an estimate yet, I'll update you here with any news.
