Find conversation

slack.findConversation resolves an exact public or private channel name to a stable ID. It also accepts an ID directly.

Example

automations/find-support-channel.automation.ts

import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { slack } from "automate.ax/slack"

export default automation("Find support channel", () => {
  slack.findConversation({ conversation: "#support" })
})

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Default	Description
`conversation`	`string`	Yes	None	Exact channel name, optionally beginning with `#`, or conversation ID.
`includeArchived`	`boolean`	No	`false`	Includes archived channels in name lookup.
Second argument: `{ account }`	`string \| IntegrationAccountReference<"slack">`	No	Project default	Slack workspace binding.

Output

Returns a SlackConversation with stable id and available name, visibility, membership, topic, purpose, creation, creator, and member metadata. Lookup compares names case-insensitively across every accessible public and private channel. It fails if there is no match or if an exact name matches more than one channel. Use an ID to avoid ambiguity.
