We are trying to setup a notification when a new file is uploaded to a record in a specific table.

We have created a new Slack channel to receive these notifications.

When connecting with Slack, only a subset of our team’s Slack channels appear. The new channel we just created doesn’t show up.

Is this integration working currently? What are we missing?

We’ve logged in/out of each app several times and retried but no luck. The new channel never appears.

Hey AirTable friends - @Oguzhan_Ince // @connorclnc
I was able to find a workaround for this, today.

Change Static to Dynamic on your automation in AirTable. In Slack, “View Channel Details” and find the Channel ID number. Copy that number and paste it directly into the dynamic field in your automation.

I am having this same issue with two different paid airtable workspaces and different slack channels. The workaround above is not working for either.

I am experiencing this issue right now. Is anybody else? @Janelle_Patters did you find a solution?

I'm running into this and my screen looks different than the workaround above. Instead of  https://community.airtable.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/22346iDE5A921E1B2AF0F7/image-size/large?... I see this:

I can choose static or dynamic in user, but not channel

but then i have to use an Airtable user, not a Slack user which is what I want.

I've selected "Refresh this list" several times to find my channel with no dice. Would love to hear if anyone has figured this out!

ETA: I see the same screen when I select "Send a message," but I'd really like to send an actionable message
