# On channel member joined

> Run an automation when a member joins a Slack conversation.

`slack.onChannelMemberJoined` emits `member_joined_channel` events for conversations visible to the installed bot.

```ts automations/welcome-slack-members.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { slack } from "automate.ax/slack"

export default automation("Welcome Slack members", () => {
  const membership = slack.onChannelMemberJoined()
  // Use membership.userId to welcome the member in this Slack channel.
})
```

The result includes `userId`, `conversationId`, `conversationTypeCode` (`"C"` or `"G"`), optional `inviterId` and `enterpriseId`, the typed original `event`, and the complete `envelope`. Slack's membership event does not distinguish public from private conversations; use `slack.getSlackConversation` when that distinction matters.
