Overview

The Get Replies activity uses the Slack conversations.replies API to retrieve the replies associated with a specific message (Message).

After retrieving the replies, the activity returns the properties in a Message[] object (Replies) that you can use as input property variables in subsequent activities (e.g., Message(0).Files in Download File, etc.).
