it is a trigger node so no last node output

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.114.4
  • Database (default: SQLite): Default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): Default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
  • Operating system: NAME=“Ubuntu”
    VERSION_ID=“24.04”
    VERSION=“24.04.3 LTS (Noble Numbat)”

The n8n Slack trigger node does not currently support custom commands. You can instead use the Slack > Webhook node to receive Slack command data, or utilize the HTTP Request node to call the Slack API.

I thought so.
Thanks for the quick reply.
