Tools & Actions (88 available)

• Add a remote file: Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) to Slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external_id` and an `external_url` accessible by Slack.
• Add call participants: Registers new participants added to a Slack call.
• Add reaction to message: Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a Slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
• Archive a Slack conversation: Archives a Slack conversation by its ID, rendering it read-only and hidden while retaining history, ideal for cleaning up inactive channels; be aware that some channels (like #general or certain DMs) cannot be archived and this may impact connected integrations.
• Archive a public or private channel: Archives a Slack public or private channel, making it read-only; the primary 'general' channel cannot be archived.
• Close conversation channel: Closes a Slack direct message (DM) or multi-person direct message (MPDM) channel, removing it from the user's sidebar without deleting history; this action affects only the calling user's view.
• Create Slack Canvas: Creates a new Slack Canvas with the specified title and optional content.
• Create a Slack user group: Creates a new User Group (often referred to as a subteam) in a Slack workspace.
• Create a reminder: Creates a Slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts Unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every Thursday at 2pm').
• Create channel: Initiates a public or private channel-based conversation
• Customize URL unfurl: Customizes URL previews (unfurling) in a specific Slack message using a URL-encoded JSON in `unfurls` to define custom content or remove existing previews.
• Delete Slack Canvas: Deletes a Slack Canvas permanently.
• Delete a Slack reminder: Deletes an existing Slack reminder, typically when it is no longer relevant or a task is completed; this operation is irreversible.
• Delete a file by ID: Permanently deletes an existing file from a Slack workspace using its unique file ID; this action is irreversible and also removes any associated comments or shares.
• Delete a message from a chat: Deletes a message, identified by its channel ID and timestamp, from a Slack channel, private group, or direct message conversation; the authenticated user or bot must be the original poster.
• Delete file comment: Deletes a specific comment from a file in Slack; this action is irreversible.
• Delete scheduled chat message: Deletes a pending, unsent scheduled message from the specified Slack channel, identified by its `scheduled_message_id`.
• Disable a Slack user group: Disables a specified, currently enabled Slack User Group by its unique ID, effectively archiving it by setting its 'date_delete' timestamp; the group is not permanently deleted and can be re-enabled.
• Download Slack file: Tool to download Slack file content and convert it to a publicly accessible URL. Use when you need to retrieve and download files that have been shared in Slack channels or conversations.
• Edit Slack Canvas: Edits a Slack Canvas with granular control over content placement. Supports replace, insert (before/after/start/end) operations for flexible content management.
• Enable a user group: Enables a disabled User Group in Slack using its ID, reactivating it for mentions and permissions; this action only changes the enabled status and cannot create new groups or modify other properties.
• End a call: Ends an ongoing Slack call, identified by its ID (obtained from `calls.add`), optionally specifying the call's duration.
• Fetch bot user information: Fetches information for a specified, existing Slack bot user; will not work for regular user accounts or other integration types.
• Fetch conversation history: Fetches a chronological list of messages and events from a specified Slack conversation, accessible by the authenticated user/bot, with options for pagination and time range filtering. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: This action only returns messages from the main channel timeline. Threaded replies are NOT returned by this endpoint. To retrieve threaded replies, use the SLACK_FETCH_MESSAGE_THREAD_FROM_A_CONVERSATION action (conversations.replies API) instead. The oldest/latest timestamp filters work reliably for filtering the main channel timeline, but cannot be used to retrieve individual threaded replies - even if you know the exact reply timestamp, setting oldest=latest to that timestamp will return an empty messages array. To get threaded replies: 1. Use this action to get parent messages (which include thread_ts, reply_count, latest_reply fields) 2. Use SLACK_FETCH_MESSAGE_THREAD_FROM_A_CONVERSATION with the parent's thread_ts to fetch all replies in that thread
• Fetch item reactions: Fetches reactions for a Slack message, file, or file comment, requiring one of: channel and timestamp; file ID; or file comment ID.
• Fetch team info: Fetches comprehensive metadata about the current Slack team, or a specified team if the provided ID is accessible.
• Find channels: Find channels in a Slack workspace by any criteria - name, topic, purpose, or description. NOTE: This action can only search channels visible to the bot. Empty results may indicate: - No channels match the search query in name, topic, or purpose - The target channel is private and the bot hasn't been invited - The bot lacks required scopes (channels:read, groups:read) Check 'composio_execution_message' and 'total_channels_searched' in the response for details.
• Find users: Find users in a Slack workspace by any criteria - email, name, display name, or other text. Includes optimized email lookup for exact email matches.
• Get Slack Canvas: Retrieves a specific Slack Canvas by its ID, including its content and metadata.
• Get conversation members: Retrieves a paginated list of active member IDs for a specified Slack public channel, private channel, direct message (DM), or multi-person direct message (MPIM).
• Get reminder information: Retrieves detailed information for an existing Slack reminder specified by its ID; this is a read-only operation.
• Get remote file: Retrieve information about a remote file added to Slack.
• Invite users to a Slack channel: Invites users to an existing Slack channel using their valid Slack User IDs.
• Join conversation by channel id: Joins an existing Slack conversation (public channel, private channel, or multi-person direct message) by its ID, if the authenticated user has permission.
• Leave conversation channel: Leaves a Slack conversation given its channel ID; fails if leaving as the last member of a private channel or if used on a Slack Connect channel.
• List Slack Canvases: Lists Slack Canvases with filtering by channel, user, timestamp, and page-based pagination. Uses Slack's files.list API with types=canvas filter. Known limitations: - The 'user' filter may return canvases accessible to the specified user, not just canvases they created. This is a known behavior of the Slack files.list API with canvas types. - The 'ts_from' and 'ts_to' timestamp filters may not work reliably for canvas types. Consider using client-side filtering on the 'created' field in the response if precise date filtering is required.
• List Slack files: Lists files and their metadata within a Slack workspace, filterable by user, channel, timestamp, or type; this action returns metadata only, not file content.
• List all channels: Lists conversations available to the user with various filters and search options.
• List all users: Retrieves a paginated list of all users, including comprehensive details, profile information, status, and team memberships, in a Slack workspace; data may not be real-time.
• List all users in a user group: Retrieves a list of all user IDs within a specified Slack user group, with an option to include users from disabled groups.
• List conversations: List conversations (channels/DMs) accessible to a specified user (or the authenticated user if no user ID is provided), respecting shared membership for non-public channels.
• List pinned items in a channel: Retrieves all messages and files pinned to a specified channel; the caller must have access to this channel.
• List reminders: Lists all reminders with their details for the authenticated Slack user; returns an empty list if no reminders exist.
• List remote files: Retrieve information about a team's remote files.
• List team custom emojis: Retrieves all custom emojis for the Slack workspace (image URLs or aliases), not standard Unicode emojis; does not include usage statistics or creation dates.
• List user groups: Lists user groups in a Slack workspace, including user-created and default groups; results for large workspaces may be paginated.
• List user reactions: Lists all reactions added by a specific user to messages, files, or file comments in Slack, useful for engagement analysis when the item content itself is not required.
• Lookup Canvas Sections: Looks up section IDs in a Slack Canvas for use with targeted edit operations. Section IDs are needed for insert_after, insert_before, delete, and section-specific replace operations.
• Lookup users by email: Retrieves the Slack user object for an active user by their registered email address; fails with 'users_not_found' if the email is unregistered or the user is inactive.
• Mark reminder as complete: Marks a specific Slack reminder as complete using its `reminder` ID; **DEPRECATED**: This Slack API endpoint ('reminders.complete') was deprecated in March 2023 and is not recommended for new applications.
• Mark user as active: Tool to mark a user as active in Slack. Note: This endpoint is deprecated and non-functional - it exists for backwards compatibility but does not perform any action.
• Open DM: Opens or resumes a Slack direct message (DM) or multi-person direct message (MPIM) by providing either user IDs or an existing channel ID.
• Pin an item to a channel: Pins a message to a specified Slack channel; the message must not already be pinned.

• Remove reaction from item: Removes an emoji reaction from a message, file, or file comment in Slack.
• Remove remote file: Removes the Slack reference to an external file (which must have been previously added via the remote files API), specified by either its `external_id` or `file` ID (one of which is required), without deleting the actual external file.
• Remove user from conversation: Removes a specified user from a Slack conversation (channel); the caller must have permissions to remove users and cannot remove themselves using this action.
• Rename a Slack channel: Renames a public or private Slack channel; for Enterprise Grid workspaces, the user must be a Workspace Admin or Channel Manager.
• Rename a conversation: Renames a Slack channel, automatically adjusting the new name to meet naming conventions (e.g., converting to lowercase), which may affect integrations using the old name.
• Retrieve call information: Retrieves a point-in-time snapshot of a specific Slack call's information.
• Retrieve conversation information: Retrieves metadata for a Slack conversation by ID (e.g., name, purpose, creation date, with options for member count/locale), excluding message content; requires a valid channel ID.
• Retrieve conversation replies: Retrieves replies to a specific parent message in a Slack conversation, using the channel ID and the parent message's timestamp (`ts`). Note: The parent message in the response contains metadata (reply_count, reply_users, latest_reply) that indicates expected thread activity. If the returned messages array contains fewer replies than reply_count indicates, check: (1) has_more=true means pagination is needed, (2) recently posted replies may have timing delays, (3) some replies may be filtered by permissions or deleted. The composio_execution_message field will warn about any detected mismatches.
• Retrieve detailed file information: Retrieves detailed metadata and paginated comments for a specific Slack file ID; does not download file content.
• Retrieve detailed user information: Retrieves comprehensive information for a valid Slack user ID, excluding message history and channel memberships.
• Retrieve team profile details: Retrieves all profile field definitions for a Slack team, optionally filtered by visibility, to understand the team's profile structure.

• Retrieve user profile information: Retrieves profile information for a specified Slack user (defaults to the authenticated user if `user` ID is omitted); a provided `user` ID must be valid.
• Revoke a file's public url: Revokes a Slack file's public URL, making it private; this is a no-op if not already public and is irreversible.
• Schedule message: Schedules a message to a Slack channel, DM, or private group for a future time (`post_at`), requiring `text`, `blocks`, or `attachments` for content; scheduling is limited to 120 days in advance.
• Send ephemeral message: Sends an ephemeral message to a user in a channel.
• Send message: Posts a message to a Slack channel, direct message, or private group; requires content via `text`, `blocks`, or `attachments`.
• Set a conversation's purpose: Sets the purpose (a short description of its topic/goal, displayed in the header) for a Slack conversation; the calling user must be a member.
• Set conversation read cursor: Marks a message, specified by its timestamp (`ts`), as the most recently read for the authenticated user in the given `channel`, provided the user is a member of the channel and the message exists within it.
• Set conversation topic: Sets or updates the topic for a specified Slack conversation.
• Set user presence: Manually sets a user's Slack presence, overriding automatic detection; this setting persists across connections but can be overridden by user actions or Slack's auto-away (e.g., after 10 mins of inactivity).
• Share a me message in a channel: Sends a 'me message' (e.g., '/me is typing') to a Slack channel, where it's displayed as a third-person user action; messages are plain text and the channel must exist and be accessible.
