On app mention

onAppMention emits messages that directly mention the installed bot.

Example

automations/answer-slack-mention.automation.ts

import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { onAppMention, replyToThread } from "automate.ax/slack"

export default automation("Answer Slack mention", () => {
  const mention = onAppMention()
  replyToThread({
    conversation: mention.conversationId,
    text: "I saw your mention.",
    threadTimestamp: mention.message.timestamp,
  })
})

Trigger data

Returns a signal with conversationId, optional conversationType, eventTimestamp, workspaceId, and a normalized message. The message always has text, timestamp, and type; author, thread, Block Kit, attachment, file, reaction, reply, app, bot, and subtype fields are present when Slack supplies them. The account cannot be chosen by a runtime signal. Slack only delivers mentions visible to the installed app.
