Event Triggers with Connector to Slack

Help Orchestrator
1

Hi, I’m looking for some fresh info on how to configure Event Triggers in UiPath Orchestrator to run my robot when someone posts a message on Slack.

I added a Trigger to my process and chose Slack as the connector, but when I posted something in a public/private channel where my Slack Bot is added, UiPath didn’t start the process. I also checked whether my Slack bot has all the permissions required by UiPath.

To make sure I did it right, I tested whether the Google Docs connector would work—and it did, just as I expected. So, why doesn’t Slack work?

  1. If you are using slack connector then currently only button clicked event is only supported and not trigger on message
  2. If you want to trigger based on message then you might need to use http webhook connector and it is still in preview

Here is a guide Activities - Trigger an automation using the HTTP Webhook connector when a message is posted to Slack
