Currently in Zapier, the trigger ”New Message Posted to channel” is to retrieve only one message during the zap run. What if I wanted to get several follow-up messages within 15 mins initiated from a particular trigger message sent in slack channel. In simple terms, need to fetch a conversation. how do I trigger these texts? Any workaround which can help would be appreciated.

Hi
Good question.
Most Zap triggers/actions work on a per record basis.
For example, in Slack, if 5 messages were posted at the same time, then each of those would trigger it’s own Zap Run: https://zapier.com/app/history/
Perhaps you can outline a specific example in order for us to have more context about what you are trying to do.

Hi
Are you wanting to retrieve all the replies in a thread to a particular message in Slack? I was able to get that to work using the Make API Request beta action: https://cdn.zappy.app/dcac25f214dadf490b35113ae986e5d5.png
I set up the action like so: https://cdn.zappy.app/8e7a44e8f8c352eefb33181ea7700fc1.png
Let me know how that works for you!

How can I get it?

My zap needs to get triggered with a specific keyword message from slack, every minute for 15 mins and looks for any conversation and considers those conversations to sent over OpenAI. Suppose A, B, C come within 15 mins and those 3 should be sent to OpenAI and D comes after 15mins ,it should initiate as a mark for new conversation.
Assume we have slack messages A, B, C, D incoming at intervals 0min, 5mins, 15 mins and 20 mins respectively. Suppose we triggered message A and drop it to OpenAI as prompt for sentiment, while B came in after 5 mins , as per our workflow it will silence B as the POST webhook is triggering to silence this zap for 15 mins by turn off, but takes in C after 15 mins outputting sentiment for A & C.
Question: how to trigger B into the OpenAI within the same zap since we have only have one trigger to fetch slack message? Could you suggest some workarounds to trigger B while at the same time considers any messages after 15mins as new convo.
If you have questions/ not clear about the workflow please let me know.

Sorry about that, Jojin. I didn’t realize it wasn’t released globally yet. It is scheduled to happen soon, though.

Make API Request should be available now. Let me know if you still don’t see it.

Is there any way to filter slack message via API to only show certain users texts?

That will depend on the API endpoint you are trying to use and whether that supports filtering.

conversations.replies is the endpoint if you want to get responses in a thread and the one I used in my reply above. It’s documented here. It cannot filter by certain users.
The best way I can think of to filter by certain users is to add a Filter step and only continue if the user ID is within a given set of user IDs.
