I have a button automation that sends a message to Slack. In this message, I'd like a filtered list in the interface to be included, how do i do this?

Send slack message with filtered list via button automation in interface

Unfortunately, that is not possible because Airtable’s automations do not have access to any of the live data from interfaces, except for the currently logged-in user (this feature is only available in interfaces).
If you need to filter on more criteria than simply the logged-in user, then the only way that I can think of accomplishing this would be to give your users a dropdown menu (in a single-select field) of options that you have PRE-CHOSEN for them, which would then trigger your pre-configured automations.
