How It Works
When the pipeline executes, the Slack Send Message node:
- Connects to the Slack workspace using the selected connection profile's OAuth token
- Resolves the target recipient (channel or user) from the function configuration
- Sends the message with any configured bot customization (username, icon emoji)
- Optionally replies to a thread if a thread timestamp is provided
