Overview

The Invite to Channel activity uses the Slack conversations.invite API to invite Slack users (Users) to an existing channel (Channel) that you're a member of.

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.

Complete the Setup steps.
Add the Slack Scope activity to your project.
Add the Invite to Channel activity inside the Slack Scope activity.
Enter values for the Input properties.
Run the activity.
- Your input property values are sent to the conversations.invite API.

Properties

The values for the following properties are specified when adding this activity to your project in UiPath Studio.

The channel that you want to invite the specified Users to.

Required	Yes
Default value	Empty
Allowed values	Enter a valid channel name `String` or use the drop-down list to select a channel from your workspace.
*Notes	You must be a member of the channel to invite new members. 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. After the connection is established, this button changes to Refresh. The channel names included in the drop-down list are those that are available in the connected workspace only.

Notes	Enter the user names using Slack's username syntax (e.g.,"Jean.Grey,Laura.Croft,Steve.Rogers,Peter.Quill"). The users must belong to the workspace that the Slack Scope is connected to. If the user already belongs to the channel, a already_in_channel error is thrown. You cannot invite yourself to a channel (a cant_invite_self error is thrown). To join a channel, use the Join Channel activity.
