Summary

Documents the new Slack message trigger, which lets custom automations run when a teammate posts a top-level message in a selected Slack channel.

Changes

  • automations/index.mdx: Added Slack message to the trigger types list (now five triggers).
  • automations/manage.mdx: Added Slack message option under Trigger configuration with channel selection and scope notes (top-level messages only, ignores thread replies, edits, and bot messages).
  • automations/create.mdx: Mentioned Slack channel messages in the intro so users see this trigger option upfront.

Context

Backed by mintlify/server#7548 ("Add chatPlatformMessage workflow trigger for Slack channel messages"), which introduces the chatPlatformMessage trigger schema and a routing gate that only forwards top-level channel messages (no subtype, no bot_id, no thread_ts).


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only updates to automation guides; no product code or configuration changes.

Overview
Documents the Slack message trigger so custom automations can run when teammates post in selected channels.

The overview now lists five trigger types and describes that the agent evaluates each new top-level message before acting. Manage explains channel selection, Mintlify Slack app requirement, and that thread replies, edits, bot messages, and Mintlify app messages are ignored. Create mentions Slack channel messages alongside other trigger options in the intro.
