Error from Slack: channel_not_found

I’m working on a multi-step Zap that will trigger when a new urgent case is created in salesforce and will create a new slack channel and send a message to the slack channel.

Step 1:  Trigger on new salesforce case. -- This works

Step 2: Filter Action continue only if case.priority = “Urgent”. -- this works

Step 3: Create Channel in Slack with  channel name = triage-case-<casenumber> (triage-case-00021983” -- this works and I verified the new channel was created.

Step 4: Send Channel Message in Slack

       -- Channel property set to custom using attribute: <Channel Name Normalized:triage-case-00021983)

This results in an error: The channel message could not be sent to Slack.  Error from Slack: channel_not_found

 

Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong or how to get this to work?

Hi @KevinatEphesoft 

Make sure to map the Slack Channel ID (not the Channel Name) from Step 3 to Step 4 using the ‘Custom’ mapping option.
