Slack Bot Response Help

Describe the problem/error/question

I want the Slack Bot to respond within the channel where the message/mention originated. The goal is to be able to access the bot anywhere in the workspace which I’ve figured out in the trigger node but it’s only writing to the one channel I’m able to select in the Slack Reply node.

What is the error message (if any)?

Share the output returned by the last node

Hi,

When sending a message, there are additional options besides from list
there are “by id”, “by name”, “by url” which you can fill with dynamic expressions.

I guess when you receive the slack trigger there would be like a channel id which you would be able to use at a later point in time to send a message back.

Reg,
J.
