How to delete Slack Messages triggered by a Zap?


I accidentally created a trigger that was too sensitive and now I’ve flooded my slack channel with hundreds of messages made by the zap. How do I delete all of the messages?

You’ll have to reach out to your Slack Admin for help.

There is no Slack Zap action to delete messages.

@Troy Tessalone, this doesn’t work as the message was sent through the App, not my account, so I do not have permission to delete or edit.
