Slack : File Upload

Would like to add the ability to upload a file/attachment to slack.

API already has this available, so should be relatively quick/easy.

Would be helpful for automation of reports, etc.

Any update on this?

Curious if this was seen? Seems like a good and straightforward enhancement with the integration priority with Slack that Workato has.

Update: The Custom HTTP action for Slack currently only supports identify,channels:read,groups:read,users:read,users:read.email,channels:write,chat:write:user,chat:write:bot,groups:write. This does not allow the function to upload files in Slack.

Hi Marshal, you can access access actions that are not already available in the dropdown list in your recipes by using the Custom HTTP action for Slack.

Any updates on this? Can we post file content as attachments to Slack?

Hi all,

Sincere apologies for the delay in response on this. While we do not yet have it in our Slack connector, you may still be able to upload files in Slack using our custom connectors. You can learn more about those here:

HTTP: http://resources.workato.com/http-connector/ or https://support.workato.com/solution/folders/1000224370
SDK Training: http://resources.workato.com/sdk/#/?_k=6q98w0
Developer Reference Guide: http://developer.workato.com
Developer Console: https://www.workato.com/custom_adapters
Workato Documentation: http://docs.workato.com/

The key differences between HTTP and SDK are as follows:

We are continuously updating our connectors, so we will update this thread if this action has been added to our Slack connector.
