Slack Not Loading Channels

[jmr123]

I’m trying to connect Slack to n8n.

I’m going the app token route and followed the instructions (https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/slack/).

I added permissions (see screenshot below)

I installed the slack app to my workspace, but when I add the credential into n8n and try to populate the node, it won’t load any of channels.

Seems like the channels:read permission would allow the channels to load up.

Any idea what’s happening here?

I found the answer from a post by raphaelh in another thread. Apparently to get the channels to load, you need to add the groups:read permission as well.
