Q: What are Slack Workflows?

A: Workflows are automated multi-step tasks or processes that can run right in Slack, or connect with other tools and services. Workflows in Slack can be as simple or as complex as you’d like, and typically don’t require writing any code.

Add the desired variables to pass into the Slack Workflow that can be used as dynamic variables in the Slack Workflow steps.

Variable type options:

  2. Slack user email
  3. Slack user ID
