Slack Trigger for New Posts in Private Channel

Help - slack triggers for public channels but not private.

I have a bot credential setup and a slack trigger listening to all channels in the workspace. I’ve added the slack bot to the integrations tab on a public and private channel.

However - I get no events for the private channel but I do for the public channels.

What do I need to do?

I have tried adding all scopes that say private to both the bot scopes and user scopes - it hasn’t helped.

Please share your workflow

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.69.2,
  • Database (default: SQLite): Default starter docker db
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): ??
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
  • Operating system: Mac

I finally figured it out on my own. The scopes weren’t the issue.

I didn’t add message.groups to the event subscriptions tab in slack. It is a different event for private groups than the normal message.channels.
