Parameters

ParameterDescription
Channel IDThe ID of the channel to retrieve info on. Can be obtained by using the Get Channels action.

Note:
* When using the Slack Bot or Slack User connection types, private_channel and mpim (group chat) channels cannot be retrieved.
As an alternative, you can create your own Slack app by following our documentation and adding the required scopes: channels:read, groups:read, im:read, mpim:read. Follow the guide to create a token, then connect using the Token connection type.
* The Slack Bot connection can only retrieve information from im (direct messages) channels it is a member of. Public channels have no limitations.
Include LocaleSet this to true to receive the locale for this conversation.
