Check your Slack connection here: https://zapier.com/app/connections
Hi
Might be related to the incident Slack is having today: https://status.slack.com/
Thanks
May want to try opening a ticket with Zapier Support for further assistance: https://zapier.com/app/get-help
Hey there
I can see that
I can’t make any promises as to when this will be fixed by but we will notify you all by email as soon as it is.
In the meantime, it should be possible to select the channel by using the Custom value option and typing in the ID for the Slack channel instead. You can find out more about how to use custom values here: Add custom values to dropdown menu fields in Zaps
Any updates on a solution for this ? Getting the same error
Thanks for reaching out,
Hello,
Please include me in the list to get update when its fixed. I’m getting the same error in the step to “send message in private channel”
We’re having trouble loading 'Channel' data (The app returned "ratelimited".)
Hey there,
In the meantime it might be worth trying the workaround Sam mentioned! 🙂

Hello
So far, I am 100% blocked :(
Thanks,
Ah, I’m sorry to hear that
Hi, also experiencing this error. Very frustrating. This is a critical bottleneck and usecase for my team that is failing to deliver.
Thanks so much for reaching out,
While I don’t have an update to provide at the moment, rest assured we’ll keep you and the thread informed as soon as we do. I’ve got you added to the list of affected users, which is also the best way to stay in the loop.
Thanks again for letting us know and sharing your candid feedback. It’s always appreciated.
Any update on this issue (the boilerplate response Zapier staff send for literally EVERY bug is growing very very old)?
The workaround of manually inserting the channel ID is not an option when a different channel ID is referenced (based on prior logic steps) each time the zap is run (inviting users to specific channels based on external retrieved info).
Hi
We are sorry that we don’t have any updates regarding this issue. I’ve added you to the list of affected users, and we’ll update you via email if there are any changes. Thanks!
Hey Slack team,
Do we have updates on when this issue is due to be resolved? We have a large operation currently relying heavily on Slack <> Zap integrations and unable to edit existing automations without risking to completly disabling them.
Hi
We apologize for any inconvenience. I’ve added you to the list of affected users. Please kindly wait for the update, and we will send you an email if there are any changes. Thank you.
Hello ! We are experiencing the same issue .. any updates or an estimated date of arrival for a solution ?
Hey there,
While we don’t have an update to share at the moment, we’ll be sure to keep you and the thread updated once we do.
I’m experiencing this issue as well.
