# List private channels

> List private Slack channels accessible to the installed bot.

`listPrivateChannels` lists private channels that the installed bot can access.
It does not reveal private channels the bot has not joined or otherwise been
granted access to.

## Example

```ts automations/list-private-channels.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { listPrivateChannels } from "automate.ax/slack"

export default automation("List private Slack channels", () => {
  listPrivateChannels({ excludeArchived: true, limit: 50 })
})
```
