Slack — inbound events

SETUP: point a Slack app's Event Subscriptions at this workflow's deployed URL — mentions and DMs become runs. Test simulates one event.

What’s inside

2 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

Step	Node	Type
Slack events	Slack Trigger	`input.slack`
Ops channel feed	Console	`utility.console`

Import it

Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/slack-inbound-events.json).

Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:

import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Slack — inbound events"

Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
