Hi,

Similar to the "Find User by ID" Slack action, I would like to find the Slack user group by Slack group ID. I didn't see any existing actions to do this. Are there any workarounds available?

I'm trying to use the "Add Reminder" action in Slack, and I need to provide a value for the "Remind who?" field. I want to add the group ID here to remind the group in Slack.

Thank you!

Hi there @Rasangika,

Unfortunately, the current Slack integration does not include a "Find Group ID" action. I suggest reaching out to our Support Team to request this feature. You can contact our Support Team here: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

In the meantime, if you are familiar with API, you can use the API Request (Beta) action as a workaround. You can refer to this API documentation from Slack: https://api.slack.com/methods/usergroups.list

Alternatively, you can also use Custom Actions as a workaround and utilize the "Create with AI Builder" for the AI to create the custom action for you. More information about this can be found here: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/16277139110157-Create-a-custom-action

Please note that the workarounds mentioned are considered advanced features, so our support for them may be more limited. This is not because we don't want to help, but because troubleshooting APIs can be tricky due to the differing structures of each API and not having visibility on the other end.

If you need personal help setting up the workaround, you can reach out to one of our certified Zapier Experts here: https://zapier.com/experts

Hopefully, this helps!
