Posts a message to a Slack channel, or as a direct message to one person, using a connected Slack integration. Set **Send To** to choose which. Pick the channel or recipient from the workspace, or type a $(variable) to choose it at runtime — a channel id (C0123ABCD) for a channel, a user id (U0123ABCD) for a DM. The message text is $(variable)-interpolated too. Capture $.ts (the message timestamp) and $.channel (the resolved channel id — for a DM this is the private conversation, not the user id) into variables to reference the message later. Prerequisites: the integration's Slack app needs the chat:write scope; the bot must be invited to the target channel, including any private channel you want to post to or see listed. The channel dropdown additionally needs channels:read (public) and groups:read (private); direct messages need users:read to list people and im:write to open the conversation. Bots and deactivated accounts are not offered as recipients — Slack refuses app-to-app DMs. Adding a scope requires reinstalling the app to the workspace, which issues a NEW bot token you must paste back into the integration. The flow takes the failed exit when Slack rejects the message, and default otherwise.
