I’m trying to create a Zap which sends a message from Airtable to a private Slack channel which will change depending on the person specified in the Airtable record. This needs to be a private channel message and not a direct message, since each group will have 3 members.
I’m trying to set the channel name (example: “name-metrics”) as a custom value, as shown below:

This exactly matches my channel name, but I’m getting the following message when I try to test the action:

Any ideas what I’m missing? I tried adding # to the front of the channel name. I know channels have IDs, but would like to do this with the channel name if I can. Thank you!
