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.mdx and automations/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 chatPlatformMessage trigger type and exposes Slack in the trigger integration list once the Slack app is installed.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes with no runtime or security impact.

Overview
Documents the Slack channel message trigger for custom automations across English and es, fr, and zh locales.

The Integration trigger description now includes new top-level messages in selected Slack channels, not only shared-integration events. Manage and overview pages note channel selection when Slack is the trigger.

integrations adds Slack to the trigger integration/event table, clarifies that the Mintlify Slack app is separate from third-party integrations but can be chosen as a trigger after install, and adds a Slack channel message triggers section: top-level-only (no thread replies or agent mentions), agent receives message context and may choose not to act, multi-channel selection, and app must be in each channel.
