SlackBotToken

Send messages with Block Kit formatting to Slack channels via a bot token.

Quick Setup

1. Go to api.slack.com/apps and click Create New App > From Scratch
2. Under OAuth & Permissions, add the chat:write bot token scope
3. Click Install to Workspace and authorize
4. Copy the Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-...)
5. Invite the bot to your target channel: /invite @YourBotName

Configuration Notes

• The bot must be invited to the target channel before it can post.
• In n8n's Slack node v2.2, use messageType: "block" with blocksUi for Block Kit formatting. Using messageType: "text" with blocks in otherOptions does not render blocks.
• blocksUi expects a JSON string wrapped as {"blocks": [...]}.
• Set includeLinkToWorkflow: false in otherOptions to suppress the n8n branding footer.
