Summary
Document the new Slack channel message trigger for custom automations, announced in #shipped by Patrick Foster.
Changes
automations/integrations.mdx: expanded the automation trigger row, updated the Slack app Note, and added a "Slack channel message triggers" subsection covering top-level-only scope, agent decision to act, and channel/permission requirements.automations/index.mdxandautomations/manage.mdx: noted that the Integration trigger also supports new top-level messages in selected Slack channels.Context
Backed by mintlify/server PR #7548 ("Add chatPlatformMessage workflow trigger for Slack channel messages"), which adds a
chatPlatformMessagetrigger type and exposes Slack in the trigger integration list once the Slack app is installed.Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only changes with no application code, security, or data-handling impact.
Overview
Documents that custom automations can use the Integration trigger when a new top-level message posts in selected Slack channels—not only shared-integration events.
Updates Overview, Manage, and Integrations (plus
es,fr,zhequivalents) so the Integration trigger description mentions Slack channel messages. The Integrations page clarifies that the Mintlify Slack app is separate from third-party integrations but can be chosen as a trigger after install; Slack is added to the trigger events table (New message in a selected channel). Scope is top-level channel messages only (no thread replies); manage docs note picking channels where the Slack app is installed.Localized Integrations pages add a Slack channel message triggers subsection with setup requirements, that thread replies and agent mentions are ignored, agent context (message text, channel, sender, permalink), and multi-channel selection rules.
