`UiPath.Slack.Activities.Channels.JoinChannel`

## Overview

The **Join Channel** activity uses the Slack [conversations.join](https://api.slack.com/methods/conversations.join) API to add you to an existing channel (**Channel**) in a workspace.

## How it works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the [Setup](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/slack-setup) steps.
2. Add the [Slack Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/slack-scope) activity to your project.
3. Add the **Join Channel** activity inside the **Slack Scope** activity.
4. Enter values for the [Input](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/slack-join-channel#join-channel) properties.
5. Run the activity.

## In the Body of the Activity

* **Channel Name** - The channel that you want to join. Enter a valid channel name `String` or use the drop-down list to select a channel from your workspace. Before you can select a channel, the **Slack Scope** must be connected to the workspace. Connecting to the workspace is done by clicking the **Connect** button in the **Slack Scope** activity.

## Properties

### Common

* **DisplayName** - The display name of the activity. This field supports only `Strings` or `String` variables.

### Misc

* **Private** - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.

### Output

* **ResponseStatus** - The status of the request (success/failure information). Enter a `ResponseStatus` variable (*UiPath.BAF.Models.ResponseStatus*). The `ResponseStatus` object includes three properties that you can use in other activities.
  + **Success** - `Boolean` - Specifies whether the API request was successful.
  + **ErrorCode** - `String` - The response error if the API request is unsuccessful (**Success**=*False*).
  + **Message** - `String` - The error message.
